Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.

    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.

    It’s the Windows taskbar. They used to let you move it to the top but had to remove that feature to support CoPilot.

    yeah copilot did indeed conflict with the windows XP taskbar

    [–] Psythik@lemm.ee 3 points 6 hours ago

    StartAllBack restores this functionality. (It also allows you to arrange the taskbar icons and buttons any way you see fit, and even replace the entire Start menu with the one from Win7, 8.1, or 10.)

    I am a left side taskbar kind of guy. No room for me in default Windows either anymore.

    I hated this change, I've used a side taskbar in windows my entire IT career. It makes it painfully obvious which taskbar is yours and which is the servers when logged in over RDP. With this simple tweak, I had quite literally never made a click error on a remote server... Until windows 11.

    that's a clever way to use it!

    I used to do this back before browsers had tabs and everyone I told thought I was nuts for doing it, now I just don't care.

    I have a left taskbar and then my left browser nested tab bar. (Vivaldi, but I used to do this in Opera too) It's definitely better now with Ultrawide monitors.

    I completely missed the taskbar at the top. Thought the guy was wondering what the 3.5 floppy drive was.

    literally the thing that made me decide to finally look into linux, recently resulting in my switching to it, is that for years Ive liked to have the taskbar on the right side on autohide, and on windows 11 they took away the ability to put it there.
