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.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    [–] Uranus_Hz@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Isn’t β€œRaspberry Pi OS” called β€œRaspbian”?

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

    That's its old name, sometimes still circulating out of habit. Currently, it is officially called Raspberry Pi OS.

    TempleOS isn't a Linux distro

    My mistake, for some reason I thought it was based on linux.

    Perhaps unsurprisingly, it isn't exactly an OS I've used lol, I just knew the name and meme.

    I think you mean GNU/Linux

    [–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 88 points 1 week ago (11 children)

    Look Richard no matter how many times you post this, no-one is going to start calling it GNU/Linux.

    [–] HStone32@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

    He's just mad that the Linux community upstaged HURD

    [–] sxan@midwest.social 64 points 1 week ago (9 children)

    In fact, systemd is arguable a more important component covering more aspects of system function in a lot of distributions: home mounting, boot process, logging, init, cron... I'm going to start calling it systemd/Linux, just to mess with Stallman.

    Long ago, I used Debian on my main PC but decided to go with Ubuntu on the laptop because it was easy to set up.

    Later I switched to Debian on the laptop, too, because ultimately I felt Ubuntu was just Debian with extra steps.

    There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about...

    [–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

    Here's a picture of the linux distro family tree:

    There's Debian, the distro.

    There's Redhat/Fedora, which is commercial,

    there's gentoo, where on installation, everything is compiled from source.

    There is slackware, mostly for historical purposes (it was the first distro),

    there's arch for ~~people who want to feel they're better than others~~ tinkerers,,

    there is openSUSE, which is like redhat but german.

    Slackware is the oldest distribution which is still active. I remember Yggdrasil came before it, and I'm looking it up, I see that Slackware was based on the earlier SLS.

    What's with nexenta changing colour in between?
    Did it change ownership right before going down?

    Same for beafanatix, which changes the line colour right after the starting dot.

    [–] Zink@programming.dev 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Arch-based is only going to become more of a thing thanks to SteamOS.

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

    Yea, this grafic is pretty outdated already
