- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- 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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. ย
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 remove France.

MODERATORS
I like Cachy. It runs on my AMD Framework 13. Arch runs on my desktop, and I have reached an equilibrium where it's stable enough to for me to ignore the occasional crash or complete freeze up (which is audio related and rare enough that I just don't care to try to fix atm).
Actually now that I think about it, I haven't had a audio lockup since I swapped to using my video card's audio. So maybe I have a defective audio chip on my motherboard. ๐คท

I've never has freezes, but I fought my pipewire for a long time over chopped-up audio. I believe some kernel flag for real-time interrupt handling solved the issue at last, which I found on some audio forum after three evenings' worth of tinkering and fiddling and eventually scouring the internet when I accepted I wouldn't figure it out on my own. IDK if it's of any use to you, but I can dig it out if you'd like.
Oh man thanks that would actually be delightful. Whenever you got time, I'd appreciate whatever fix helped. Even if it doesn't solve the problem directly, it might put me on the right path.
I think this was the one:
https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_configuration
I added
threadirqto the launch options as described under "Using the threadirqs kernel option", which solved it for me, but you'll probably want to read the whole page anyway.I will study this page like my entire academic career hinges on it and I'm a ritalin-addled undergrad.
Despite the fact that I graduated 18 years ago. Thank you.
Glad to restore some memory of youth to you ;-)
Hope it helps, or is at least an interesting read
Sometimes the Linux community is pretty cool, love you guys.
If you look closely at almost any large community, you'll find both lovely and awful people and interactions. I try to be part of the former, but I confess that I sometimes fall in with the letter. I think that's just human nature, but we tend to notice the negative more than the positive.
