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.

    I build my desktop setup from Debian base so I can be more offbeat than the arch crowd.

    [–] RockyBass@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

    I feel like Debian people are the ones who wear fedoras, and the ones who use Fedora wear golf attire.

    Then you got Arch people like me (black jeans and hoody) who need to ham it into every conversation that I use Arch.

    I installed endeavor. Now I want to try arch with the arch install script. Then I want to try the traditional install.

    archinstall is so easy I'm convinced almost anybody can do it.

    [–] ABeeinSpace@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Same. I installed Arch the manual way a few times, then tried archinstall. It’s dead easy

    Last time I tried (a few months ago), it only is easy for single-boot setups. If you want to dual boot, you have to define the BTRFS submodules yourself, manually... why?? Just give me sane defaults, please.

    [–] RockyBass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Do it the traditional way! Its good to learn that stuff and feel comfortable tinkering around your system when need be... Especially when dealing with partitioning and setting up your bootloader.

    I like my computer like I like my hair....with Fedora

    I use Manjaro, is that cool?

    You are on this council... But we do not grant you the rank of master

    I just used the Arch Install script last time, does that make me a bad person?

    [–] _hovi_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Don't tell anyone but I only did it manually the first time and have just used archinstall every other time since 😎

    [–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

    I always used an archiso from 2021 and wondered why the script never works. Last time it tried it with a new ISO again, damn was it fast and simpel. I needed to install Arch many times because of new PCs we used as Server

    [–] generic@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago

    Thank you, that is acceptable.

    il stick to my plans of installing Linux mint cinnamon on laptop and rocky Linux on a tablet
