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.
  • 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.

    For me apt is faster only 3 letters

    [–] rtxn@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (5 children)

    I mean... that's not incorrect, but...

    >>> len("apt update && apt upgrade")
    25
    >>> len("pacman -Syu")
    11

    Still longer, but at least just use

    apt upgrade --update

    Sorry but muscle memory makes me write:

    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade 
    

    And I'm used to apt complaining about missing repo URL, and then I have to fix it by pointing to archive.debian.org.

    [–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

    that's why we have alias pac='pacman'

    [–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 14 points 1 week ago

    Or just use yay instead

    [–] somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

    i aliased pp='pacman -S'
    inspired by vim's :yy and :dd and etc...

    alias upd="your distro's upgrade command here"

    [–] Aneb@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Is Yay out of date? "yay -syu" is even shorter

    [–] Statick@programming.dev 9 points 1 week ago

    You don't even need to do that. You can just type yay

    >>> len("zypper dup")
    10

    can haz emerge world

    ;) but... I know, I know... sanity adds more options.
