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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • 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.

    Linux Mint: Smart and polite just as his brother Ubuntu, but unlike him don't eat trash food and wash regularly, so everyone in class actually prefer him for the study session.

    EndeavourOs : The Arch GF. Smart, funny and have a good effect calming Arch worst behavior.

    VoidOs: There never was a kid with this name in class. Never. And you can't prove nothing.

    Alpine is minimal. That kid would show up in one piece pajamas because it serves the job of pants, shirt, underwear, and sweater+hood (if it comes with a hood).

    [–] bulwark@lemmy.world 35 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    don't forget their lunchbox (BusyBox)

    [–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

    It better be a batman lunchbox.

    [–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

    Meme needs to be revised to this

    [–] mech@feddit.org 35 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

    Slackware: Just sits there quietly and tries to blend in, but wears a plaid 3-piece-suit and smokes a pipe.

    [–] abbiistabbii@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

    Knew someone who dressed in posh trousers, a waistcoat, and a posh shirt and smoked a pipe (outside school, of course).

    [–] mech@feddit.org 2 points 21 hours ago

    Reminds me of a classmate who used to wear a trenchcoat, and had an old school telephone receiver in his pocket, attached to his smartphone via spiral cable.

    [–] bw42@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

    I think Slackware would be more:

    Sits in the back of the room quietly working, well wearing a three piece plaid suit and smoking a pipe. Depending on the day the pipe may contain tobacco, marijuana, and/or mushrooms. Still uses a slide ruler because its stable tech.

    [–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 9 points 5 days ago

    Slackware is the ancient teacher still using chalk and a blackboard threatening to beat misbehaving kids.

    [–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 32 points 5 days ago (1 children)
    [–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 8 points 5 days ago

    Still uses memes from 10 years ago

    [–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 days ago

    Poor OpenSuse. The exchange student. Pivotal to the group project. Everybody loves them when their arpund but no one mentions them

    [–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 25 points 5 days ago (4 children)

    Apparently there are no women in Linuxville?

    [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 34 points 5 days ago

    Nah Fedora's a girl, sorry that's how you find out your mom is gay

    Give the arch and gentoo users a couple months 🤣

    [–] surrealpartisan@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago (2 children)

    Even though I find it likely that you detected an actual bias in the design of the meme, I don't see any explicit indications of Manjaro's, Fedora's or Alpine's genders.

    Bazzite: Sweaty gamer in their mom’s basement. Goes a minimum of 2 days without showering. Talks like they know stuff, but really they parrot what they read on internet forums. Could change their whole life if they wanted to, but they refuse.

    [–] Focal@pawb.social 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    Is nobara more or less unhinged than Bazzite?

    [–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

    Never used it. Can’t say.

    [–] arcine@jlai.lu 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    NixOS is missing cause they graduated early 😎

    [–] kautau@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

    lol NixOS shows up every day with their younger sibling that is somehow smarter than them but yesterday they were the younger sibling

    Ubuntu is the tinfoil hat guy who believes weird stuff but people still follow her because she is loud

    [–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    I was thinking Ubuntu is the one who follows people around and steps on the heels of their shoes while they walk, but has loads of "friends" because they have money.

    [–] illusionist@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago

    That fits as well 😁

    [–] PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social 4 points 5 days ago

    Ubuntu is the annoying self-diagnosed kid that demands the whole class be run to his bizarre standards to the detriment of all the other students.

    [–] sudoMakeUser@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 days ago

    Ubuntu is always trying to sell you stuff by forcing it into random unrelated conversations

    Sorry about your mom btw

    [–] Strider@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    I feel the word reliable is missing for Debian.

    [–] Kjell@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    Debian - A little boring and outdated, but friendly and reliable. Everyone likes him.

    Like this?

    [–] Strider@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

    Friendly, trustworthy and reliable! 😁

    Mint - nice and polite kid, doesn't smell bad

    [–] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    Always offering gum and tic taks to everyone.

    [–] kingofthezyx@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 days ago

    Takes the new kids under their wing.

    [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 5 days ago

    Mint is probably the first years' teacher who still hasn't burned out

    [–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

    Bazzite: The kid with rich parents who has built three gaming PCs in the past year, just to keep his hardware up-to-date… But he only uses them to emulate games that are at least 10 years old. He also thinks RAID is a backup. He happily parrots whatever last week’s tech blogger was posting about, but he gets some big parts of it wrong because he only read the AI generated summaries.

    [–] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    I'm a Fedora user, what does that say about me?

    [–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 5 points 5 days ago

    Loving family, lots of friends, wealthy, intelligent, very cute pets.

    [–] ashughes@feddit.uk 4 points 5 days ago

    Manjaro: the one who never does their homework but still gets a pass.

    [–] tio_bira@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    Debian

    everyone likes him

    Press X for Highly Doubt

    [–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

    Really? What do people have against Debian?

    [–] wltr@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

    Obsolete. No WiFi drivers ever. (Might be false by now.) Always breaks during major upgrades (that’s only my experience, so I could be wrong here too). But hey, it’s obsolete!

    Don’t break Debian, they say.

    I use Arch btw

    [–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago

    manjaro also frequently steps on his own glasses and can't see without them.

    alpine should have some minimalist edc stuff but nothing fancy and doesn't do anything else that stands out

    [–] parzival@lemmy.org 3 points 5 days ago

    I use arch but don't want people to talk to me

    Endeavour: Openly has a crush on arch, but is too lazy to put effort into dating.

    [–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    Fedora and Alpine have no chill lol
