Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- 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!
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.

Windows 11 may be the first major version of Windows that I never use on my own personal rig. I’ve used 98, XP, 7, 8/8.1, and 10 throughout my life. But I’ve got no reason to touch 11 when Arch (or fill in with your distro of choice) with KDE exists. It’s just a much better experience.
Shoot, even my daughters share a computer with endeavorOS+KDE installed and they have no problems using it. Windows 11 would refuse to even install on that same machine.
Ugh, my field (tech) means i have to have more than a passing familiarity with it
It's definitely different if you're getting paid for it. I plan to get into I.T. within the next year or two if I can, so I'm sure I'll have to get familiar with Windows 11.
I mean, technically I do use Windows 11 daily at work. Gotta be able to order stuff, send emails, and manage my time card. All that is done on a Windows 11 PC. But nobody is paying me to put it on my home PC, so I'm not going to.
