  • 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!

    Just installed Mint on my Surface Pro 4 that's been sitting in a drawer for years and guess what, it's now useable again! Praise be Linux.

    Good to hear! My main computer is my desktop, running Mint. (I'm using it right now.) But I also have a Surface Pro 4 that I use for work. It has no problems and works fine on Windows... but I have been wondering if I can move that away from Windows as well. So its encouraging to hear that it has worked for you.

    Does Mint have good support for the stylus and touch-screen on the Surface 4? (I imagine the Surface tech might be specialised to Windows a bit, so I wouldn't be confident those would work immediately in Linux.)

    I don't know about this specifically, but in my experience with Mint, it's very plug and play with this kind of stuff. I'm always really impressed by just how little setup Mint needs.
