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.

    I support their journey into systemhood 😌

    [–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Same here. I have a ThinkPad, and don't identify as a person. It just happens that I'm not a femboy (to my knowledge)

    This is either really transphobic or really trans positive :p

    Heh, I have the arch sticker on that exact spot too:

    [–] tuckerm@feddit.online 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Ahh, the classic Firefox logo. How old is that sticker?

    [–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 month ago

    Also an old KDE logo. New, I just prefer the older logos.

    [–] somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    what are the two things that are on top of thr arch linux logo and the bash logo?

    (the rest i alr know)

    (i may be using too much linux)

    [–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I am not sure what you mean by the 2 things, since there's just one, and above one of the Bash logos is just Linux and Fediverse.

    I've labeled them:

    Uhh… I just picked up a pair of old Thinkpad x130e and have a put Linux on them. If I run Debian instead of Arch and keep the sticker collection small can I avoid having to find socks like that in my size?

    [–] hunnybubny@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    Might need a different colour. But distros are inclusive, so no worries.

    I'm not even trans, I just like the aesthetic and these socks help me program better

    Wait I always supposed that those sock pictures were from girls...

    I call bullshit. You’re telling me they’re choosing some bullshit knockoff cherry red crap over arguably one of the best laptop keyboards ever created?

    That’s AI man.

    [–] mkwt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Red is crap. Gotta go blue or clear.

    [–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (5 children)

    Well if we’re talking switches, get with the kailh box dark yellow and feel the burn.

    That reminds me that I have a stack of Vista era laptops (and one Win 7) gathering dust. I should find something to do with them.

    [–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I use an old laptop as a Pi-hole, personally.

    [–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I've thought of doing it, but the power draw wouldn't be reasonable.

    [–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    You could try salvaging any good components to try and reuse for another project, maybe strip any RAM, drives, etc... to use in a storage bank.

    I have seen some unique project ATX motherboards that have SODIMM slots on them

    My boss gave me 5 free T-420s. They all run Mint now.

    [–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Shit... One of my coworkers is giving me one of these to play with...

    Guess I'm ordering the socks this weekend...

    [–] LSNLDN@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 month ago (5 children)

    I love this meme but I always wonder what they’re doing with Linux, like if I had an old thinkpad I think I’d only be as creative as to play movies in VLC πŸ˜”

    [–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 28 points 1 month ago

    Polishing dotfiles for the color schemes and vimrc. Version controlling those dotfiles. Using neovim to edit the dotfiles configuring neovim. Scripting the tiling wm to open neovim in a way that fits editing the neovim config. Configuring ansible to be able to deploy the neovim dotfiles quickly from codeberg after reinstalling arch because it's the weekend and the kernel had some bloat parts so the whole system felt wrong.

    Not trans, but soon I'll also have a ThinkPad, where can I get stickers for it? I'm looking into Manjaro instead of Arch though.

    [–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Manjaro is kinda crappy tbh, I'd recommend EndeavourOS or CachyOS instead.

    I just bought a T580 from eBay. When do the socks and skirt arrive?

    [–] Shipgirlboy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Need to install Arch first and, of course, tell everyone about it. One morning they will just appear on your doorstep. Happened to me, and everyone else I know.
