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.
  • 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.

    Sorry, but this is just some random image I found on the internet. Try searching it through Google image search to find the origins. Good luck. 🀞

    Mark my words. There will be Linux that does this and it will be the most popular distro.

    [–] JustSomeOtherGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is already a thing.

    [–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 14 hours ago

    And it will be legal to fork it and remove that, yay GPL!

    Don't give Canonical ideas.

    Yeah, I was gonna say, it already exists

    [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 18 hours ago

    Why do you think it would be popular?

    ... time to re-boot development on Hannah Montana Linux, it is then...

    You DID NOT activate Linux!

    wrecking ball crashes through both your desktop, and also random parts of the actual file structure

    Ubuntu has that dumb subscription to get security updates that pushed me away. Sure it was free for personal use, but I don't want to have to give my personal information to get updates that are created primarily by volunteer open source developers anyway.

    "Microsoft has reached a deal to purchase Linux"

    [–] simonlm@sh.itjust.works 58 points 1 day ago

    What a horrifying timeline that would be!

    "Linus Torvalds sold his share of Linux to Microsoft for $1.8B"

    [–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago

    1.8B is way too cheap for something as big as Linux, hell fucking Minecraft sold for 2B

    If I were in charge of a distro I'd push this as an update on April Fools Day

    Which is part of why I'd be a bad pick for the position XD

    The commit will never be allowedπŸ˜‚

    Best I can do is:

    You must activate Linux within 30 days.

    Please provide your address, email address, phone number, and a scan of your ID card to activate Linux.

    [–] sonofearth@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

    Maybe your bank login just in case.
