1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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.

Yup. My Arch+LUKS+KDE setup freezes on first boot half of the time and I can't be bothered to keep trying to fix it because it takes less than 5 minutes of my time per day and I run backups of the important stuff once or twice a week, and I'll likely distrohop within the next 12 months. Worst case scenario, I wipe the whole thing, archinstall from scratch, and restore from backup.
(well, worst case that doesn't result in physical/BIOS damage...)

This is the greatest truth of being a computer person. Our shit is also broken, just in ways you'd never heard of.
And by "be productive" you mean looking at cat pictures, right?
I'm still on XFCE + Compiz because Wayfire doesn't support global hotkeys (more of wayland's fault) nor does it have 3d windows for the cube effect.
KDE wayland has global hotkeys, so does hyprland. seems like a skill issue for Wayfire.

This logic can be applied to many hobbies, frankly.
My rack is chained up in the garage and beaten into submission. I get an alert if something is down and an alert over a week if there's an upgrade. I put those alerts on silent so i only see them when i pull the shade down on the phone.
Computers are better seen and not heard.
My cousin is 30 years a mechanic. The only reason his car works at all is because he retired at 48 (#union).
Yeah my cars all have problems but I know what they are so I can fix them later. I worry more about folks driving about with a failed wheel bearing and 0 brakes that they have no clue about..

My server went from doesn't work and I don't know why to it does work and I don't know how
Man I posted this and now my servers down. Looks like maybe my NVMe drive failed. Canβt catch a break.
I would regard myself as Quite Computer, not Very, and yet, have still managed to bugger my Linux box by messing with the bootloader.
No drive or USB ports recognised on boot. No way to boot from iso. Yay me.
making an IT professional scratch their head and go "What the.. how..?!" is almost a badge of honor.
Not a developer or power user but the tinkering and unstable mindset fades away as one gets older.
Guys and gals, please use Niri. It has animations, blur and wayland.
Never crashed in my one year of using it.
That's why, as a computer nerd, I use a non modified Linux Mint.
My computer is just a bunch of duct taped config files Iβve forgotten about waiting to be invalidated by the next update
