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. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Language/ัะทั‹ะบ/Sprache

  • 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.

    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.

    I threw together spare computer parts and a new hard drive, installed Bazzite, Steam, and did an entire Dark Souls 1 playthrough without issue using an xbox controller.

    Waiting for things to go awry now. Kinda feels like an Ambrose Bierce story playing out.

    It was kinda funny, when I installed fedora a few months ago, the wired ethernet port wasn't working at first (needed an update, probably because my mobo was pretty new) but the wifi worked right away. Not sure what I would have done if neither of them worked tbh.

    If anything, Windows 11 is the OS where things don't work off of a fresh install (assuming it's a self-built PC). It requires an internet connection during regular setup yet the ethernet/wifi drivers simply didn't work. I had to cheat startup and install drivers through USB.

    Bazzite on the other hand, worked instantly. The only thing needed was to set the right sound output.

    I had this experience with my l14 thinkpad and Fedora.

    I was shocked that even the fingerprint reader workedโ€ฆ well like half the time, but I donโ€™t like using it anyway.

    I bought a media center pc around 2000 and installed Ubuntu. The only thing that didn't work out of the box was sound through HDMI. Figured it out the same day.

    The only "real" computer (that is, a non-SBC one) I've installed Linux lately on was a work laptop. Touchpad, GPU and Wi-Fi worked straight off in Debian. Though I think it only installed Nouveau, never bothered with the real Nvidia driver. And it had some weird thermal regulation issues. Once it somehow left the filesystem in "plz boot in single user and fsck with a toothpick" state. The day before my internship ended, the thing crashed hard for some reason and took the filesystem with it. (Never use btrfs I guess?)
