- 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 will not be tolerated.
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. Β
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.

Expects user to solve many issues manually, and as such requires some Linux experience.
Also, showing newbies the latest and greatest makes for a better presentation, and Linux develops so fast the 2-year cycle makes grand shifts.
Getting downvoted for asking why is funny. I think your Debian Stable experience is a decade old or something. I don't need to fix anything manually on a fresh install and can game just fine.
You're quick to assume it's my downvote. It's not, I barely touch this button and find it counter-productive. It often makes sense to disregard it in a conversation.
I didn't install Debian 13, but I did work extensively with Debian 12 on several machines, and issues did arise: broken wallpaper, borked battery indicator and non-operational app store to name a few.
I actually did not, I just included it in the reply that I think it's funny.
I think I stopped getting issues at around Debian 10. Funny enough I now experience issues on different Ubuntu installs so I stop recommending it to newcomer.
I see!
For now, my least problematic picks were Fedora and OpenSUSE, most problematic - Debian, Mint and to some extent Arch. I do recognize it's anecdotal, though.
