  • 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.

    I haven't used enlightenment but I've always heard interesting things about it. Does anyone have any experience with it or know why it be like that

    I used it as my main DE a few years ago, its great! Really cool UI, completely different to all other DE's but it makes sense, and it has some cool stylings like for example virtual desktops icons being the actual desktops, just really tiny. The bugs, however, kept piling up, and it (segmentation fault)ed too often, so I had to abandon it. Last I heard, the reason it doesn't get major dev work anymore is that its really hard to work with.

    Tried it in a vm, I just don't like it's ui but the ux is good.

    Twenty years ago, you'd run it every now and then because it was kind of fun. I'm not sure if it counts as actually using it though. There were actual window managers for that.

    I'm not sure what the use case is nowadays, I'll have to install it someday.
