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. 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.

    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.

    It's insanity. I had to upgrade my work laptop to windows 11 this week.

    IT didn't do their research and turns out our main software isn't compatible with windows 11 at all. So i had to downgrade back to windows 10. When i did, photos don't work and the microsoft store wont open.

    Windows is such a horrible system, i have no idea why they made it so poorly. I could have installed any distro of linux and had it working well in less than 20 minutes. Upgrading to windows 11 took almost 2 hours and it still didn't work.

    Now IT has to scramble to find a solution before the 14th and we lose all security updates, which they are very concerned about. What a nightmare to be in IT.

    dnf5 made this so much more enjoyable

    [–] Zetta@mander.xyz 1 points 32 minutes ago

    Is dnf5 on by default in fedora 42? Or is that delayed till 43

    Well, true, one of the slowest packaging systems in Linux world is still faster than Windows Update.

    Dont you mean: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

    [–] wurstgulasch3000@feddit.org 5 points 4 hours ago

    Yea apt-get is so 2010

    [–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

    Ain't nobody got time for two commands. sudo apt upgrade --update

    [–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 16 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

    Are you serious? That's a thing? I've been doing apt update and apt upgrade for years

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

    Yes.

    Also don't forget && exists for sequential completion of any commands

    [–] MsFlammkuchen@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

    && executes the second command, if the command before was successful, || executes the second command if the first one was unsuccessful and ; executes the second command regardless of success.

    [–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 hours ago

    I didn't know any of this, thank you both :)

    These are much more useful than the :(){ :|:& };: operator

    Fun fact and disclaimer: this is a fork bomb. i tried it to run it on my phone via termux, thinking android would act up and terminate termux; but nope, my phone froze. Thankfully i hard-reset my phone by holding [VOLUME_DOWN]+[POWER] for ~5 seconds.

    [–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 9 hours ago

    I'm absolutely serious.

    You can also add a package name to install it at the same time as doing the upgrade, though personally I prefer to do that as a separate command so I can see what dependencies are needed.

    sudo zypper ref && sudo zypper dup

    [–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

    Which just sounds ridiculous frankly. Even when you know what it means it still is rediculous.

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 6 points 9 hours ago

    I'm on Garuda, so I just type

    sudo update
    

    I can still type out pacman -Syu, but nice that I don't have to.
