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.
  •  

    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.

    Only 5 distros exist: Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, RHEL/Fedora, and built it yourself.

    Alpine sort of used but it is pretty niche and is mostly using in containers.

    Void and Guix both have tiny market share and lack a use case

    Arch is basically Debian with extra steps. Doesn’t count.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    It is basically Debian except for it is nothing like Debian.

    Nor do I, and I use both Arch and Debian exclusively.

    [–] somenonewho@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    Eh ... Mint is Ubuntu based, Ubuntu is Debian based so they're all Debian ... Also Arch? ^I ^use ^Arch ^btw

    [–] SeekPie@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

    Arch? Isn’t that just CRUX?

    [–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 5 points 1 week ago

    Do you count openSuSE as rhel? Also mint is just Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is not Debian because Ubuntu has more up to date drivers software and what not.
