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.
  •

    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 already transitioned my laptop to Linux mint snd I got no regrets. My VPN isnt installing on it, but i can manage it later.

    This weekend....desktop time. I spent a lot of time making backups and making sure everything is in order. I'll report on this very thread when I have done it.

    Spanish Linux killed my parents.

    universally understood across language barriers

    Why are shitposts in Spanish funnier than English

    [–] josefo@leminal.space 2 points 56 minutes ago

    I'm native spanish speaker, it's portuguese for me the language that really elevates memes for some reason.

    I mean same for shitposts in German. Just funnier when it's a language you sorta understand, but not completely.

    [–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 45 minutes ago (1 children)

    I always laugh at German memes. I have absolutely no idea what they are. When I see them i imagine a German person crafting a meme which is just a statement of fact and laughing to themself.

    Luckily ich kann ein bisschen Deutsch sprechen y hablo un poco Español, but it's only a little in case of the former and even less for the latter. So I'm nearly quadrilingual, but really just bilingual lol

    I do get the terms front/rear left/right just from vl, vr, hl, hr though, which is mildly amusing because that comes from owning and fixing formerly luxurious German shitboxes, not the 7 years of German class I had in school.

    It adds a layer of incongruity.

    I don't speak spanish but the doge meme convinced me that linux mint is better.

    [–] josefo@leminal.space 1 points 55 minutes ago

    Doge memes are universal

    Rough translation:

    Linux Mint: thanks to Steam and Proton I can run Windows games with more FPS. Gabe Newell, you are blessed!

    Windows: the Microsoft telemetry ate the RAM, I can’t give so much FPS

    [–] teft@piefed.social 11 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

    I would translate the sentences the same except I would change the ends of those two sentences to say: "Bless you, Gabe Newell" and "I can't give as many fps".

    [–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

    Thanks, ‘bendito seas’ was a new one to me and I was having to do some guesswork!

    [–] teft@piefed.social 5 points 6 hours ago

    Yeah, the subjunctive can be more than a little confusing for us english speakers. Wishes, desires, and doubts use that conjugation. In this case op is wishing blessings on Gaben so we have to use the subjunctive.

    Shared with my Linux friend that is learning Spanish to better communicate with the almost-in-laws. They were amused.

    update: so was their Windows boyfriend, who helped them with the "bless Gabe Newell" line.
