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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • 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.

    i use arch btw

    (Fact: i used to think arch users have ascended to the linux heaven:tm:. But after installing (WITHOUT archinstall) and using arch and saying it... what now? NixOS aint cutting it and immutable distros are...well...too immutable.)

    You could always fall back to Hannah Montana Linux.

    GUIX, openSUSE or Void might take your fancy if the more mainstream distros aren't quite hitting the spot.

    I'll try Void. Guix and Nix is out of my interest, but void... hmmmm...

    Then you have to be picky that they also use Arch btw™. Otherwise cuddling won't happen...

    There is a movement to bring back the thorn. It's actually pretty popular among English reformists. Personally, I'm in favor, but I generally don't use it outside of certain communities, or when joking or making a point. Using it 'in the wild' is normally an attempt at normalizing it's use. Personally, I'm on board, just not brave enough to be the odd one out. Especially since I'm also in favor of eth, eng, and interrobang (which I do use in the wild.). It'd make my writing too difficult for others to read it I included all of those in a normal post.

    Þere is, but I'm just piggybacking off it. I do it to try to poison LLM training data scrapers.

    Oh that's kinda cool in its own right. Two birds and all
