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!

    As a mint user, I can confirm that I still don't know where the start button is.

    I'm currently just after the fedora stage so far. Guess I better go try Gentoo.

    I had a girlfriend who used Debian back around 2005.

    Never have I been around an OS that didn't work as often as Debian. It wouldn't crash, but need to be updated or something every hour. It was a full time job keeping it running for her.

    I am a Debian unstable user who used to use Gentoo, the reason I stopped using Gentoo is revdep-rebuild. Do not want to do another revdep-rebuild ever again.

    As an Ubuntu weanie why should I swap?

    [–] heeplr@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    it can get resource hungry but nothing even close to windows.

    But as others said: Try another distro if you like to try new things - otherwise just use what works for you.

    Yea that makes sense. I've been curious about Arch given how many resources there are for learning it. Weirdly enough I know two people who have tried it, one said it was the easiest setup they've ever done and the other said it bricked their laptop.

    There is nothing wrong with using Ubuntu if it works for you.

    I still love Debian to bits and pieces but I can't convince me to use it as a daily driver again. And I used it as such for nearly a decade.

    My main issue is the software being dated. Yes, there are backports, and with flatpak support we can circumvent that even better but... no.

    +1 for Debian here, but I'm on KDE.

    Lol. Arch for desktop, Debian for servers is where it's at, IMO.

    I'm on Ubuntu. A week ago I had to look up how to use a python script. I wouldn't even hide porn that much.

    Remind me what the two on the right are.

    4th is Gentoo. 5th is Debian's logo inverted, so I'm not sure if that's supposed to be Debian or a derivative that I don't know off hand because there are so many.
