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.

    Look Richard no matter how many times you post this, no-one is going to start calling it GNU/Linux.

    [–] sxan@midwest.social 65 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    In fact, systemd is arguable a more important component covering more aspects of system function in a lot of distributions: home mounting, boot process, logging, init, cron... I'm going to start calling it systemd/Linux, just to mess with Stallman.

    [–] cqst@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Uh no, it's not. GNU has been integral to the GNU/Linux project for years. Without GCC, coreutils, glibc, there would be no linux distributions. Systemd has not played the same role.

    [–] Smc87@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    But now we have systemd so GNU can get fucked, bitch.

    [–] cqst@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

    systemd is an init system and just has not played the same role in the development of GNU/Linux distributions like GNU has. before systemd there was sysvinit, and there are number of alternate init systems. It's not about system functionality that we name operating systems.

    [–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

    You're an init system and just has not played the same role in the development of GNU/Linux distributions like GNU has.

    Still tho, gnu can suck my cock

    [–] targetx@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

    If it could I'm sure a lot more people would be willing to call it GNU/Linux.

    [–] sxan@midwest.social 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Chimera Linux, Linux with the BSD user-space. No GNU.

    No systemd, either, so double-bonus.

    [–] cqst@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    It's proprietary so, no thanks.

    [–] sxan@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

    Proprietary? Wherever did you get that idea?

    [–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    People actually do call it gnu/linux semi-often, dunno why.

    [–] semperverus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I almost always do it facetiously and for meme purposes.

    [–] Kitathalla@lemy.lol 2 points 1 month ago

    That's always how it starts...

    [–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

    well actually I've taken to calling it "GNU+Linux"

    [–] cqst@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago

    Debian GNU/Linux has been called Debian GNU/Linux since at least 1997 https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1997/msg00013.html

    sucks to suck your grub bootloader calls it gnulinux

    [–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

    Shh, don't tell anyone.

    [–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

    I ise systemd-boot

    [–] HStone32@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

    He's just mad that the Linux community upstaged HURD

    [–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

    It's already started.
