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 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.

    My lower res, lower DPI display from my old Dell laptop looks much more sharp and crisp than the fancy pants Framework 13 high res display.

    Yeah totally the customer's fault for wanting a nice display in friggin 2024, certainly not the software's which still has no proper support for it.

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Exactly! All I want is a nice display in 2024β€”and Framework chooses a garbage display with known issues.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    No, YOU chose the software with known issues.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    Discord, Spotify and other electron applications will work fine in a browser. Rather than installing packages that are causing you issues just run them in Firefox.

    It's not a hardware issue but a combination of software issues.

    framework 16 over here, running hyprland, the only blurry fonts have been in Darktable, everything else is fine (telegram, discord, vscode, thunderbird, firefox, waybar, quodlibet, thunar, alacritty, seahorse, synology drive client...)

    5k display and you’ll never have to deal with fractional pixels again.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    This is what gets me every damn time I see some post saying Linux desktop isn't a mess. Absurd shit like this.

    Just like the teacher at school who kept turning all computers' screen resolutions to 640x480 because the text was too small.

    your fault for using a DE/distro which can't even handle fractional scaling

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Framework's fault for poorly choosing a display with known issues.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    Framework: let's put a high resolution display in our laptop GNOME: oh shit I can't handle more than 1080p correctly! Jg1i: Why would Framework do this?

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Mac OS has has this nailed down basically perfectly for over 10 years now, even windows has been great in the last 5+ years. Not having scaling done right in the age of 4k displays being cheap is a sin.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

    KDE does fractional scaling really well, GNOME has big issues though.
