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 will not be tolerated.
  • 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.
  • 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.

    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.

    I'm really enjoying Pop!_OS, but their logo could use some workshopping imo. I've been considering trying an upstream distro as an educational experience anyway, yet somehow this is what I'm feeling excited about. I don't know why - nobody but me is ever going to see my neofetch output. Lol

    (NixOS isn't really in the running... I just wanted a 3rd example and like the logo)

    Arch is great for gaming. Also, if you're familiar with how Linux works, Arch pretty much gets out of your way. Just have btrfs with snapper for rolling back any mistakes. (Although, I've only had to do that once in the last 5 years or so on Arch. And I was trying to replace the graphics driver, so kinda on me.)

    I also highly recommend arch-based distros for gaming. The AUR is also full of various tools for gaming such as mod managers.

    Can also use TimeShift, and there are some pretty simple ways of having it take snapshots before every update.

    Yeah, snapper just works better with btrfs in my experience, but timeshift is fine too.
