Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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 sudo in 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.
  • Β 

    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.

    So Microsoft is mimicking Linux desktops and that means what to us?

    This is finally the year of the linux desktop!

    [–] dan@upvote.au 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    The year of the Linux desktop was probably the year Microsoft introduced WSL. It'd be a non-trivial percentage of total Linux desktop users.

    If you need to run both Windows and Linux for whatever reason, Windows with WSL is a better experience than Linux with WINE (or a Windows VM). WSL can run GUI apps now, too.

    I still stand by the stance that dual booting is better. Especially if you care about smooth performance and don't have the hardware capability to run a VM smoothly.

    [–] dan@upvote.au 1 points 2 years ago

    I use both at the same time though. For example, Visual Studio supports debugging via WSL, so I can test my code on both Windows and Linux on the same PC through the same debugger, by just selecting a different build config in the UI.

    Until you get these updates. But for sure Linux works better on a bloated corporation OS that that shady thing on free Software. Its way easier

    When the first screenshots of Windows Vista were released my friends were commenting how it looks just like my Linux.
