Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    No big difference between those two methods of install. You get the real medal when a random upgrade breaks some software and you are able to track down the issue and corresponding solution(s).

    is installing debian an acceptable solution(s)? :D

    It is if that's what you are comfortable with.

    I'm a big proponent of using tools you already know how to use, so long as you aren't making things needlessly harder for yourself by doing so

    Debian is always acceptable solution

    I don't know the current state of Debian installation. But not too long ago, installing Arch Linux felt much easier lmao

    Where are these random breaks?
    I use alias update='yay -Pw ; pacman -Syu ; yay -Syu' to update and never encountered one.

    python version bump always broke a handful of aur packages for at least a couple days for me. In general tho, all my problems were related to aur packages not getting updated at the same rate as official repos.

    switched to nixos and avoided that entire class of problems
