Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.

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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

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 remove France.

My Windows 10 setup was extremely optimized and my favorite OS.

I use Linux for my daily driver now, but every so often I have to dig out my (air gapped) Windows 10 laptop to do something and it’s just… nice.

I'm sorry you lost your nice setup that you liked. I hope we see the day that you're able to have a setup you love just as much, that treats you well :)

I really liked Windows 10 too. I loved the ergonomics of the desktop. The start menu with tiles was brilliant. The flat square windows that use every pixel of your screen. The close button that takes the whole corner.

I could swing my mouse around and click without looking and knew exactly what I was hitting.

Then after a few years they enshittified it just before Windows 11.

What if it's something cursed like Proxmox on a laptop with KDE Plasma installed on host, NAT set up for VMs to use WiFi, passing wayland windows over waypipe through vsock and launching programs using manually created shortcuts which start the programs over SSH (because it can be done)?

I was gonna fix my backups, but I got high.
I was gonna be able to restore, but then I got high.
Now I lost all my crap, and I know why! (Why man?) Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high.

Nah, I also do; arch on my desktop and laptop, debian on my server.

Unless... we're both weird... I mean, I'm also weird... but because of unrelated reasons?
