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 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!

    For anyone else wondering, this is a X11 vs Wayland meme - i.e. desktop window managers. Yeah.

    Neither of them are window managers, they are windowing systems. A window manager is the part that actually lets you move around windows and draws the borders and stuff, like kwin, mutter, xfwm, i3, etc

    As I typed my comment, I realised someone would correct me with hyperspecific linux terminology. But I support your correction good sir.

    Y'all arguing about window managers and I'm just trying to connect my shit-ass bt headset to my PC.

    does Wayland even have a built in DWM? Because both are session manager.

    No, Wayland is just a protocol, and the things that implement it are compositors, not WMs

    Also, there's no such thing as a DWM, except for the WM called dwm
