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 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!

    this is why I keep my config as minimal as possible and everything I do is up on a GitHub repo

    inb4 just use nix, cloning a repo and putting the right files in the right spots is something that can be scripted with relative ease and nix is way overkill unless you're using it for application deployments in money making incentives

    Nixos is amazing, real immutability with absolute recovery.

    Well.

    Backups? Whats that! Is that where I store a copy of my config file? I havent modified mine in months. Life sure is breezy when I have no reason to tinker. Got so much of it.
