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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Windows? You have exactly 10 seconds to get the hell out of my house!

    I mean, I dual-boot Mint now. And at least you don't come after me for DOS, because that would get me defensive..

    it's a Chinese distro that looks very pretty but pays a heavy performance penalty

    Of course ~~the~~ there is also the stigma of Chinese government telemetry embedded in Deepin

    [–] SitD@lemy.lol 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    well the thing is it's open source. that is no guarantee for safety but with some popularity it's as close as it gets. many people would probably love to write a paper about the Cybersecurity of deepin - especially if there are juicy issues.

    [–] nfms@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

    I agree

    [–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Ah, absolutely not worth it then. I prefer to keep RAM free for games and video rendering.

    i had this DE for a while and liked it. for example it has a simple right click menu for per-application-scaling as far as i remember. and it's pretty.

    but yeah not exactly something for gaming.

    OK, you have 20 seconds

    Weirdly, DOS is sacred, here. Probably because none of us are forced to use it anymore.

    In this house we use OS/2

    [–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 1 week ago

    Yes, but have we gone to Warp? Or have we moved to ArcaOS?
