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.

    Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls β€œthe plateau of sustainability”

    I used Ubuntu and Mint ages ago, used Fedora when I switched to Linux full time a few years ago, and now I'm on Garuda. Basically, I'm aware of "The Valley of Despair" but refuse to enter it. I'm perfectly happy letting distro maintainers do most of the hard work. I have very little interest in raw dogging Arch, but Arch-based distros that put everything together in a nice package are great!

    I'm on garuda so i guess at the start on that. Already been through the valley of despair though, went back to windows and it sucked so i went right back on garuda, which has been working since.

    Somewhere just past the "trauma induced return to ubuntu"

    God damn that chart is accurate though.

    Bazzite/bluefin so Fedora silverblue πŸ˜‚

    [–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

    Probably the slope of enlightment.

    I do still have Gentoo installed. Planned to daily drive Gentoo, and use Bazzite for gaming on the weekends, but I'm switching back to Gentoo less and less now a days, and just daily driving Bazzite now.

    I've bricked my installation just by logging into root in openSUSE. I am not touching this shit again. I love my arch

    [–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

    I ve been running SUSE for 3years now, it never broke; when I wqs unhappy with an update O rolles back. This is the chilliest distro in my opinion after trying Mint(2 years) and Debian (2years)

    Mint... :)

    I had thought of going to Fedora next but I ask myself why !

    [–] CaptainHowdy@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

    I like to think I'm the right-most Fedora, but some days I'm for sure the other Fedora.

    "Almost bricks their machine" lol

    It's not an iphone, breaking the boot sequence won't brick it. But sure, go ahead, lecture everyone else...

    I'm not at opensuse level but I already use opensuse cause opensuse default stack saves my ass a lot even if it's a bit annoying since it doesn't have everything
