- 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.

not on arch, you have to install cups and enable the service or socket.
That's just how Arch works, you have to install everything yourself
Almost like the point of that OS is to know about everything that's going on in your system because you put it all there yourself, piece by piece!
A blessing for the privacy-oriented and the people who want to learn about everything.
A curse for people who just want their computer to work.
Exactly π
I used to use Arch too but I switched to Fedora because everything I installed manually was just installed by default already there. Also nice to be able to update my system from GNOME Software.
Yep, had to do that and spend hours reading about printing services in Linux and other OSs out of curiosity. Was very useful, not that I remember any of it now.
Many distros leave printing support out by default these days. It is just not something everybody needs anymore.
