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 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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    I used this every time (with sudo):

    #!/bin/sh
[ "$USER" != root ] && { sudo "$0" && exit; }
latest_version=$(
  curl -sI 'https://discord.com/api/download?platform=linux&format=deb' \
  | grep '^location:' \
  | grep -m 1 -oP '\d[\d.]+\d' \
  | head -n 1
)
sed -i.bak 's/\(version.*\)[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+/\1'"$latest_version"'/' \
  '/usr/share/discord/resources/build_info.json'

    Let's see how good the Flatpak version will be.

    just fyi I moved Discord, GIMP, Obsidian, and OBS over to flatpak and my root partition jumped from 19GB to 23GB. I'm kinda sad about it tbh

    Most storage space viewers get confused by Flatpak's heavily deduplicated and compressed files, leading to them reporting way larger space than what's actually occupied on the hard drive.
