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!

    From the standpoint of linux that is true.

    Linux distros aren’t unix. Common misconception. Mac OS is certified in fact.

    [–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago

    There have been Linux distributions certified as Unix in the past.

    When people say "Unix", they usually could care less about certification.

    I'd still say that BSDs are Unix and Linux isn't due to, say, kernels of Solaris and FreeBSD having some traces of similar architecture, while Linux is a completely different thing.
