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!

    My computer literally killed itself when I tried to run a Wine app and a Steam game at the same time (sh.itjust.works)

    Hmm, that would fit the pattern, as it sometimes also got stuck on just downloading things, even when the DNS config hadn't been reset.

    Do you need to partition the disk then, to place ext4 or similar into a separate partition? I'm not sure, we can partition the disk in that corporate Windows setup our company uses...

    Look up the difference between WSL1 and WSL2. If you're using 2 just make sure you're writing into /anything other than /mnt/driveletter, that should be ext4. For 1 it's directly mounted on the ntfs filesystem and you'll always have performance problems.
