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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Printing works out of the box most of the time on Linux. However, if it doesn't work it really doesn't work

    That's the problem, then. They keep checking their printer for the printed pages, when they're really coming out of the box.

    That's like all the things on Linux haha.

    One day my display randomly stopped working. That was a fun week of debugging lol

    The only Windows reinstall I've had to do in years was when I unplugged my monitor's integrated USB hub and somehow that completely broke Windows recognizing it.

    Linux though? It's typically user error in my case.

    The trick is to give up and just shuttle files from computer to printer via usb stick
