  • 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.

    Why do Linux people shit talk each other for using a different distro? It makes no sense.

    Because they can't handle the templeOS supremacy

    All praise temple OS the holiest of the holy.

    It's (usually) all in good fun.

    Anyway, we can't talk shit to anyone except each-other. No one else understands our jargon.

    yeah, and besides, we're all Hannah Montanna Linux bros. GTFO if not HML

    Why can't everyone just use the distro that is right for them, which is Arch?

    [–] wltr@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago

    Or Gentoo! Or LFS! Or Slackware. Or Alpine. Or NixOS. I use Arch, by the way.

    Because the ubuntu edition is just sypware (thanks canonical). Linux is great, but their are good and bad choices to be made

    Can you tell me more about Canonical spyware?

    I don't have a horse in the race, because Linux anything is better than the alternatives but I do think its funny that this infographic says Ubuntu has pushed malware through apt, but makes no mention of the XZ backdoor for Debian

    None of it seems to suggest it's spyware. I agree they do bad practices but spyware? C'mon

    Also linux mint(the ububtu based one) also removes snaps and everything. How can you say anything like that about mint then?

    On the server...? Isn't RHEL used primarily on servers?

    [–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

    Yes and no. Fedora is the upstream of RHEL, and like Fedora there are both workstation and server editions. The relationship is similar to RHEL being the LTS of Fedora but not quite the same. A lot of governments and enterprises that have switched to Linux for workstations are using RHEL.

    Hatred Enterprise Linux being marketed to the US gov

    [–] wltr@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    They would dismantle that and would do Hatred From Scratch.

    [–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 16 points 1 week ago

    Scratch might be complex for their mental age.

    Hated, the new Systemd component. It replaces sudo cursing at you and occasionally discriminates some users on the system. Once every few years it revokes your admin privileges for some bogus reasons and tells other users false log readings supposed to show that you're a danger to the system.

    Didn't notice the community, came here hoping for a RHEL shitpost.

    Got confused when there was only RHEL shitposts.

    [–] wltr@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 week ago

    Haha, I was quite pleasantly surprised too, expecting at least someone hopping in for RHEL shitpost!

    Yeah Lizzy was ok (still monarch and all that but she was like our collective grandma) but this new one is kinda bad imo.

    If only Cromwell hadn't been a genocidal madman who banned Christmas and music, Britain would still be a republic today.

    Red Hat are well known supporters of Israel right? They literally have part of their business there

    [–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    Most large tech companies have offices in Israel. Israel positioned itself as a "high-tech nation" to a huge degree, and there's tons of engineering talent here that companies rightly want to hire and capitalize on.

    Whether that makes these companies "supporters" of Israel is up to your interpretation, I guess, but it's more likely to just be the smart move without any political agenda. Not to mention that they've had offices here for years and years, well before Israel's recent wars and plummeting of their international image. At that point the company already had lots of its workforce here and closing down offices would have been a shot in the leg.

    The first time I heard of red hat, all I could think of was these

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redcap

    [–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Fun thing.

    Back in the day, I left Fedora and RH-based distros in general precisely because of the racist attitude of their communities and official sites towards Latin American users, including attempts at profiling on their community support channels. I guess not much has changed since then.

    I'm okay with this, Redhat has always sucked.

    [–] ajikeshi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

    just remember redhat is also at fault for pulseaudio and systemd xD
