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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.
  • Β 

    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.

    Linux users are particularly notorious for not having superiority complex.

    Changing β€œsudo” to β€œplease” on my terminal was the best thing I ever did, now all of my conversations with my computer look so polite

    [–] shroomato@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

    "please !!" sounds like you beg on your knees to execute the last command

    You don't have permissions to do this action; next action: rm -rf /

    Your illness is rooted deep into your consciousness. "su" is "switch user" by the way...

    Hate to be that guy, but it's akshually substitute user

    No-no-no, you love being that guy :)

    It isn't a complex when it's just actually superior

    psh everyone uses arch nowadays the steam deck is huge! Now if you used nix OS that would be impressive!

    [–] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 16 hours ago

    I wanted to try NixOS, gave it a couple shots, but didn't manage to properly switch before it went full slop. Maybe I need to try Guix.

    [–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

    I do, but its not really impressive

    Everyone uses linux, you have to use bsd to stand out

    [–] Kangae_Hishiryo@scribe.disroot.org 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Nix is just so normie. Why don't better use Gentoo? That's what an actual nerd with no social life does!!!1!1

    Noobs not daily driving their LFS builds

    Nah, all my homies build their own kernel from scratch... In Assembly. TempleOS goes brrr

    [–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

    Sure but we do have a clue of the other two. Regularly having to act as the IT guy for family for a OS I don't interact with...
