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.

    Debian should be a small truck (i.e. one that's actually used for cargo, not as a penis prosthetic), and the bottom right is clearly Gentoo!

    All i see is a technical waiting to be born.

    [–] tensorpudding@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to asΒ a technical, is in fact, GNU/Technical, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plusΒ Technical.Β 

    [–] negativenull@piefed.world 14 points 2 days ago

    That fits the vibe of Debian very well!

    For some reason I associate the colour red to the Renault Express. C15 is off white.

    [–] Wfh@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

    C15 was probably white in 1986 and is now a mixture of dirt, moss, rust and soot. Inside, it smells an almost unbearable melange of engine oil, dust, ashtray, wet dog and crumbling pleather. Somehow it still runs perfectly, except for the radio.

    No one realizes how perfect of a choice this actually is.

    Can you explain why? I am from Germany ... we don't have that kind of pickup.

    [–] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 14 hours ago

    You likely had it 20+ years ago, especially in the mountains. The Hilux pickup is fairly indestructible. Top Gear did an episode where they tried to kill one (linked below in other comments) and couldn't. It's rather impressive. I've seen the same exact model rolling around Africa and the Balkans today. ISIS fighters were known for using them as platforms for large-caliber guns. It's all about basic utility, stability, Toyota parts are easy to swap out, and adaptability to anything you feel like bolting on to it.

    Perfection. I have moved with one of these.

    I can't remember the name of it, but there's one type of inexpensive small truck that I see people wishing for in the US constantly. Very utilitarian and barebones function over form. That would be a good fit.

    These kinds of trucks are called kei trucks.

    [–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 days ago

    Ehhh, I think Debian should be like a 10-15 year old civic or something. You know an "ol' reliable" type. It isn't up to date and it's not flashy, but it works and it works well.

    Mint would probably be like a 2 year older version but with a fresh coat of paint and a lifted suspension.
