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.
  • 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.

    No TempleOS? The Lord shall smite you for this wicked heresey.

    [–] muhyb@programming.dev 27 points 1 day ago

    TempleOS doesn't have a pill. It's just bread and wine.

    The correct spelling is DBMS. The picture is accurate though.

    Base Data System Management

    [–] brynden_rivers_esq@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

    It really is just good! I haven’t started using it full-time but I keep thinking I should try it at least for a bit.

    [–] juipeltje@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

    Red pill. Tried the green pill but it was just too painfull having to still interact with windows period. Nuked it a few weeks ago. Screw the anti-cheat games lol, i'd rather not play them if that's what it takes to be free.

    I'm waiting in the Linux lobby for Haiku to be ready.

    [–] lime@feddit.nu 15 points 1 day ago (4 children)

    i need more weird ones. haiku, nextstep, inferno, oberon, alto exec, os/2 warp, z/360, vms, maclisp, colorforth...

    [–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago

    The Haiku one should be the yellow one.

    [–] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Don't forget Buddha Linux... Which still pretty much just exists as a concept. Neither real nor not real.

    I should make a Schrodinger's Linux.

    Every command you enter has a 50% chance of being ignored, and the output of all commands is hidden and come with a 30s delay, so you never know whether the command was actually executed or not.

    [–] notsle@kzoo.to 4 points 1 day ago

    @OwOarchist
    With bash. All things are possible.
    alias cat=schrodinger.sh

    #!/usr/bin/env bash set -euo pipefail if (( RANDOM % 2 )); then echo "meow" else command cat "$@" fi

    Zion can only manufacture so many pills.

    [–] lime@feddit.nu 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    you can just buy empty capsules and install on them

    [–] RomulusCornflakes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    You could even attach capsules onto capsules and boot the first capsule as a live environment in the second.

    [–] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 1 day ago

    i think that may exceed the maximum recommended dosage.

    [–] whelk@retrolemmy.com 14 points 1 day ago

    For a second I thought this was about vertical scrollbars

    I installed plan 9 yesterday

    What the fuck is a reactOS?

    [–] FernPlant@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    An open source os built off the windows nt kernel. It doesn't necessarily work the best, not necessarily the most ready, but it's very cool.

    [–] db2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

    built off the windows nt kernel

    [–] Maxxie@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Does this imply freebsd will make you want to kys

    No. You die in Linux, you die in the real world.

    [–] meow@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I would choose linux, if those were the only options, alltho i would choose freebsd over linux.

    [–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago
