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
sudoin 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.

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. Β
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.

Debian user here. I want to switch to arch but dont want to troubleshoot my pc after each update. How do u folks deal with that?
[ps. preface warning: dangerous whimsy here... rtfm... don't dive in eager and blind and then "break" your system and come blame me.]
I don't [switch]. Instead I [(having already thoroughly read through all the documentation several times)]
wget https://github.com/bedrocklinux/bedrocklinux-userland/releases/download/0.7.31/bedrock-linux-0.7.31-x86_64.shchmod +x bedrock-linux-0.7.31-x86_64.sh./bedrock-linux-0.7.31-x86_64.shbrl fetch archsudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo pacman -Syu.... And more likely I'd do
brl fetch void ; brl fetch gentoo ; brl fetch -r ceres -n ceres devuan ; brl fetch artix. But ^ that's for if "I want to switch to arch but dont want to troubleshoot my pc after each update."Could also do frequent
brl copy arch arch-fallback-(date)or some such, so then if something goes wrong with an upgrade, you could just carry on unperturbed, or even disable the stratum that had something go wrong, or even delete it, andbrl rename arch-fallback-20260806 arch, and carry on with your day, sure it'll resolve the upgrade properly next time tomorrow. ;)But of course, this is a bit overkill, like starting a huge complex science and production logistics project just to crack a nut.
But it is my honest answer of how I deal with that. ;)
