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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.

    They're for us dorks who like to like to chase efficiency in both screen real estate and keyboard navigation. A nice TWM combined with either a 21:9 or (my personal favorite) 16:18 ratio is pure bliss.

    Just give me more monitors and I’m happy.

    [–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

    Give me one big monitor and I'll set up 10 virtual desktops to switch between on it and I'm happy

    [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

    Plasma's Activities make up for some of my monitor shortfalls.

    [–] wesker 3 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

    That's fine. I'm running two DualUps (16:18) with a TWM, and it's amazing. I wish they weren't a discontinued display, or else I'd add a third.

    [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

    So that's effectively 2 monitors in a single case?

    Stop, I can only get so erect.

    [–] wesker 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

    It's literally two panels without a bezel between. You can run full-screen with one input, or go into PIP mode and drive each individual panel with a different input.

    [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

    And apparently discontinued. Goddammit.

    [–] wesker 2 points 21 hours ago

    Yeah, that's what I was lamenting. I want to add a third to my array, but stock is depleted everywhere and there's no sign yet they will manufacture an updated model.

    [–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

    Ah, a fellow DualUp evangelist. it's a pity they didn't catch on that much.

    [–] wesker 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

    It really is a shame. I think right out the door being only 60hz probably hurt their adoption. But really, the ratio just doesn't shine with your average, floating WM that most users are only accustomed to.

    I'm not a fan of TWMs so I use this: https://store.kde.org/p/2334027
