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
sudoin 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.

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.

Personally I've had more issues tweaking Debian to just work as needed then Arch
Agreed. Try to setup newer nvidia drivers, a newer kernel and it is the furthest from stable as any distro ever was.
Using an unstable kernel and drivers on Debian is the crackhead type of tweaking
Debian is the only distro in my recent memory that crashed into an unbootable state right after a default installation.
Manual Arch installation is tedious and unnecessary if you've done it once, and the automated archinstall fails too often. Other than that, I've had literally zero issues with it.
It's even worse with Fedora in my experience. Always some weird default, strange issue, missing packages that take ages to fix until you decide it's not the right distribution for you. And you go with Debian, Arch, Manjaro, Mint, etc...
I never had problems with Debian stable, especially on headless server. But it's not especially well-suited for brand new desktop hardware; even Ubuntu LTS and RHEL focus more on hardware enablement backports than Debian.
I've had a worse experience with Debian testing breaking my system with updates than Arch. Adding to that the freeze period (2012's was the worst, lasting 11 months) makes testing feel like the worst of both worlds between rolling and standard release distros.
