  • 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.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    My favorite part of Arch is reinstalling it over and over again. That first successful boot after the install gives too much dopamine.

    My favorite part of Arch is that my install from 5 years ago still works perfectly and I didn't have to do any major version upgrade that breaks everything.

    Just had to reinstall arch 3 times yesterday, since the installation script fucked up the partitioning.

    Reinstall nr1(manually, since the script didn't work): I forgot to add users and couldn't log into my machine Reinstall nr2(manually): my mirror lists was so fucked up that I couldn't install or update packages(there also were some missing databases) Reinstall nr3(script) : finally everything worked.

    Agreed. I've been installing it manually since 2012, never had an issue I couldn't quickly fix. I attempted to use the installer about 6 months ago and couldn't get past the disk partitioning step because it wouldn't allow me to do the things I needed to do, then I think it crashed.

    What's the point of installing Arch if you don't do it manually
