2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    There's no hate like Linux on Linux hate.

    Jerry Springer meme - user attacked for installing ubuntu on a steam deck

    [–] eu@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

    I don't know man, have you seem how much Star Wars fans hate Star Wars?

    No You're breathtaking!

    [–] visor841@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Diversity is a huge strength of Linux. We should encourage users to use whatever works for them.

    [–] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    As much as I agree that it's super nice with all these different flavours. It does make it more difficult for beginners to understand the eco system.

    [–] Variden3301@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

    If you use Open Source, you have the cool sauce.

    All that matters is that you're on linux, unless you use gnome.

    [–] Chobbes@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Back in 2007 a Linux user wished on a monkey's paw that Linux would be the most popular operating system in regular use, and then Android was unveiled.

    Should've said "GNU/Linux"

    [–] okamiueru@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Maybe it was only said as a meme, but, I like gnome quite a lot. I find it about 10x less annoying than W10/W11 and 7x less annoying than MacOS. What else should I be taking a look at though?

    [–] dukk@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

    KDE!

    Then again, I use Hyprland as my daily, so :/

    [–] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    That reminds me of the meme about the guy putting a crowbar at his bicycle wheel.

    I have no problem at all about you using gnome; except if you come to me complaining about gnome. Even worse if you come to me complaining about Linux by reciting the shit gnome does.

    [–] XEAL@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    What about a Gnome Desktop fork?

    the only ones I know are far enough from it that it would be in bad faith to judge them on that

    [–] ricdeh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    lol true :P All that matters is that you're on Linux, unless you use anything other than Arch

    [–] deafboy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    It's all good, diversity and shit... until somebody asks "How do I install Kali Linux for daily driving?"

    [–] Auzzeren@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

    Reminds me of when I was looking up an issue for Kali Linux and saw like 10 different reddit threads, all full of “don’t use Kali Linux unless you know how to use it”. Which was very helpful when I had to use it for my coursework.

    Side note: the most downvoted comment contained actual advice that fixed my problem.

    [–] Evrala@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    The strangest choice I've seen for a daily driver is I had a friend who used Knoppix as his daily driver. He started using it on a thumb drive when his computer died, so he just used a thumb drive and random borrowed computers for a while, after getting used to it he transfered the install to his new laptop when he got it.

    [–] weirdwallace75@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

    That's beyond bad taste and into active stupidity.

    [–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

    Tell me that your distro sucks without telling me your distro sucks

    /s

    [–] darkevilmac@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I sure hope you posted this from a distro that I like, if not then there may be consequences.

    [–] Xeelee@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (5 children)

    I use Mint and I'm not even sorry. Fight me!

    [–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Mint with Cinnamon here. It just works. I maybe google how to troubleshoot something once per week max 👌

    [–] Minion3665@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    that's cool... on a side note have you heard of our lord and savior Arch Linux? You should use it btw (/s)

    [–] Xeelee@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

    You're obviously a basement-dwelling, Mountain Dew swilling neckbeard! I hope your mom burns the tendies again tonight!

    [–] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    I used Ubuntu Mate, weird combo I guess?

    [–] kplaceholder@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    I use Arch btw but got into Linux with Mint and I'm glad I did. Really solid distro!

    [–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Mint is a fantastic distro. I had good luck with it.

    [–] zeppo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

    I don't need other people to think it. I'm simply feeling cool over here

    [–] tdawg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Shaming people for using Ubuntu or other “easy” distros is how you prevent people from joining the community long term. We’d be better served by being welcoming and understanding of people

    [–] Dustwin@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

    Finally, a safe place for RBOS.

    [–] Jnax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Aaah, unless and as long as I use vannila Ubuntu + GNOME combo.

    [–] Magister@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Absolutely, I'm using MX and people I know use Ubuntu or Arch and we all don't care

    [–] Album@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

    My favorite Linux distro is Android. /Ragebait

    [–] gkd@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

    But it’s not cool unless you know how to install arch (doesn’t mention that there’s literally a script that does it for you)
