Sister communities:


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!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I know you deleted your comment, but running a Linux server is not the same as using Linux as a pure desktop environment. I'm not going to surf a website using proxmox.

    Yes, deleted because it didn't really make sense in the desktop context. But proxmox has a debian derivate unter the hood I think, so everything apart from the DE seems to be fine for you already. That was my point I think. And actually that is what makes the biggest difference with Linux imho, the UIs are pretty standardized these days. Windows, buttons, mouse, unless you specifically want to go fancy. Because you mention web browsing specifically: that is actually the same, isn't it? Firefox or chromium, not sure how that would complicate things?
