- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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!

You must be young. My first Linux distro was like knoppix back in... 2001? Shit ways way different back then. Drivers you had to find manually and inject during install ๐
Holy shit knoppix, forgot about that distro.
Also around that time, wifi was becoming popular. Installing those goddamn wifi drivers for those pcmcia cards Jesus Christ. I mainly used fedora around them.
Fedora kind of went to shit for me and I always struggled with drivers until a few years later I did a big distro evaluation and decided to move to Ubuntu where I still am today.
I did the same, moved to Ubuntu then arch now manjaro
