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!

    Same thing with installing drivers in Fedora SB

    No on Fedora Atomic Desktops for some reason people tell you not to install RPMs, but actually it is unproblematic.

    Unlike OpenSUS microOS, Fedora Atomic Desktops have a reset function to delete all local changes and become 100% upstream.

    The issues really only come with /var, /etc and the user home where config-file-creep grows and you get random errors after doing to much shit with your install.

    But it is still safer to install RPMs on than on dnf Fedora.

    OpenSUS microOS has no advantages over traditional Tumbleweed afaik, apart from the atomic updates that you have a single fallback option.
