- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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 figures
We 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.

Yeah because fedora is made by a for-profit company that's helping Microsoft EEE Linux, has sold user data to Amazon, shows ads in the terminal, collects contact info from Azure so the marketing team can upsell you, and hijacks established commands to trick you into using their package manager which slows down boot times with every package installed, oh wait...
Fedora is indeed mostly backed by a for-profit company, always was. Not sure about the rest of the rant, I’m gonna assume you are right.
Pretty much every successful FOSS project is funded by for-profits, but that doesn't change the fact non-profit companies have completely different goals and obligations.
That explains why you think people don't use Ubuntu because it's for noobs. They're undoubtedly the scummiest distro since Novell-SUSE.
Don't worry, buddy. You'll get there.
I really won't... The closest I'll ever get to installing it is Mint, there's absolutely no need to waste time decrapifying it myself. Maybe you'll get there as well pal.
Don't worry, we all went through that phase.
