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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 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.

    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.

    I think you mean GNU/Linux

    [–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 88 points 1 month ago (9 children)

    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 (8 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.

    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.

    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

    Man, this infographic is like, EXACTLY why people are scared of Linux, lol.

    It has a lot of good info but it's just so overloaded. Can't decide what story it wants to tell so it tells like 7 of them.

    [–] Rooty@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

    It reminds me of conspiracy charts that gets posted on Facebook by your aunt.

    [–] Statick@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I'm a Linux user and that infographic scares me

    So I knew about HML for a while, but today is the first time I learned that the creator also made a song.

    The world has never before and never will again see such talent.

    There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about...

    Here's a picture of the linux distro family tree:

    There's Debian, the distro.

    There's Redhat/Fedora, which is commercial,

    there's gentoo, where on installation, everything is compiled from source.

    There is slackware, mostly for historical purposes (it was the first distro),

    there's arch for ~~people who want to feel they're better than others~~ tinkerers,,

    there is openSUSE, which is like redhat but german.

    Long ago, I used Debian on my main PC but decided to go with Ubuntu on the laptop because it was easy to set up.

    Later I switched to Debian on the laptop, too, because ultimately I felt Ubuntu was just Debian with extra steps.

    [–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    I could just rattle off random words and they’re probably real distros somewhere

    [–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

    My daily hobby is to go through the english dictionary and make a new distro for each word.

    Okay okay, we only needed 10.

    Edit: Though Ubuntu falls under Debian, so that's redundant.

    Off the top of my head:

    OpenSuSE, Gentoo, Arch, Debian, Mandrake, Damn Small Linux, Puppy Linux, Backtrack Linux, Slackware, CentOS

    Some of these have changed names or stopped being supported, unfortunately.

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as...

    The OS formerly known as Linux

    [–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    Arch, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Lindows (the one that was getting sued by macrohard in the past), Mocachino (not added to DW yet but is on their list of ones needing approval or something/LFS based distro), MX Linux, Sparky, Mint, Gentoo, and Fedora were the first ones that popped into my head almost immediately.

    [–] Kevnyon@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago (10 children)

    Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, Kali.... Honestly all I got.
