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.
    •  

    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.

    Could someone remind me what the appeal behind Void is exactly?

    [–] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 14 points 4 months ago

    no systemd IIRC.

    [–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

    Rolling release and stable. And no systemd... not by choice though, they're not purists, you just can't build it for musl.

    [–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Musl and stable is one worst word combinations there is. I still have nighmares from broken packages under alpine that worked just fine under normal distro. It took us like a week to find the problem. Bad times.

    [–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Alpine is an advanced user distro. I'm sure there are workarounds for the broken stuff.

    [–] renzev@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

    It's not their official policy, but my personal philosophy with alpine goes like this:

    1. If it doesn't work with musl/busybox, find an alternative that does
    2. If I can't find an alternative, then I patch it myself
    3. If I don't have the time/skill to patch it myself, then I throw it into a container that has glibc/gnu coreutils
