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!

    The group "kde-applications" has over 100 entries that start with the letter 'k'.

    Funny. Your observation made me think that for the purpose of finding stuff it's most efficient to have a perfectly linear distribution across all letters. Ie if there is 26 letters and I type out a single one I'm precluding 25/26 applications.

    Of course the application menu uses fuzzy search meaning it looks at the whole string not just the beginning and also crawls through meta data and tags.

    Still for searching it seems most efficient if a language uses all letters evenly ๐Ÿค”.
