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.

- 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.

Cockpit Web GUI made finding and reading logs, restarting services and so on much easier for me as a beginner:

If you use the GNOME desktop then the ArcMenu, Dash to Panel and JustPerfection gnome extensions allow you to simulate the Windows workflow. There's also many other extensions as better window tiling, showing status indicator at the bottom panel and so on.

i think gnome works best without any plug-ins if you're ok with getting used to the workflow; it's an amazing experience out of the box if you have a touchpad/touchscreen device like a laptop.
I only have libindicator support installed (for apps that like to close to tray)
I imagine we work quite differently then, I couldn't get used to it at all. I'm also one of the odd ones that prefer the trackpoint to the touchpad.
