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!

    Not sure if you're being sarcastic or serious. I've been using computers for decades and not once adjusted fan speeds, so that function doesn't seem very basic to me.

    When building a system yourself, setting up a custom curve is how you get the best balance between cooling and noise.

    I try to choose motherboards that support doing that in the bios, so I never have to worry about it on the OS level.

    Fan curves are easy. Set them to always run at 100% and put on a noise canceling headset.

    That's stupid. Why would I make my cat listen to something I wont? Can't have him wear my XM5s.

    [–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

    Of course not. You get him his own XM5s.
