1. Follow the site-wide rules

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

    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 remove France.

    The one you fucking feel like using. God, stop trying to make tribes mandatory.

    [–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 74 points 1 week ago (6 children)

    Never heard of it. What packaging system does Tribes use?

    [–] hansolo@lemmy.today 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Well, it's built to use Ooga, but it's also set up to be able to handle Booga as well. It depends on the driver set you need to load Fire and Club.

    *Except for beginners

    Try a beginner distro, and when you're done with the tutorial, go ahead and install your arches or nixes, IDC

    I'm a simple man, but I love Fedora

    [–] Lawnman23@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

    I’ve bounced around to plenty of distros, Fedora KDE is my current daily driver.

    We need a healthy mashup OS between TinyCore, KolibriOS, ReactOS, and TempleOS, then I'll be happy.

    [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 51 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I thought you said healthy.

    [–] over_clox@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

    You're right, we also need a CP/M terminal running on top of the Minix kernel..

    It depends on who’s asking. But if it’s someone who is curious about Linux, it’s always Mint.

    [–] joby@programming.dev 10 points 1 week ago (9 children)

    Yeah. "I use OpenSUSE tumbleweed, but have reasons I've been thinking about switching. I consistently hear that mint is a good place to start, or maybe pop!os if you're looking to run games"

    I don't actually even say the first sentence unless the question was "what do you use?"

    Sometimes, if it's clear they're trying to revive very old hardware I might help them search for something built around being lightweight.

    I'm mostly happy with tumbleweed, except that I have the nvidia repo set up and am convinced that it's causing issues. One of these days I'll look into how to try the nouveau drivers and/or how to get from my current setup to dualbooting pop!os without disrupting things I need for work.

    Also, an update straight up broke emacs while i was in crunch time once, but I learned to be more careful about my update timing.

    Never ask a woman her age.

    A man the length of his penis.

    And Someone who posts memes like this how long they had to dig to get to this ancient stereotype.

    Holy shit I lost it after Material UwU. The system requirements and FAQ (including a famous Torvalds quote) were excellent highlights as well.

    Why is Tux flipped, is this some sort of subliminal message? Is BigTech behind of this meme?

    [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 week ago

    Oh, oups. That's a remnance from a meme I made a few minutes earlier. However now Tux is looking towards the text, therefore this was all planned.

    [–] MemmingenFan923@feddit.org 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    The best distribution is always the one you currently use. All others are trash.

    Shame on all of you for not knowing Hanna Montana Linux is the best possible OS ever.

    I thought that it's a fact everyone using Linux just instinctively knew.

    [–] the_q@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 week ago (5 children)

    Pfft Linux is too mainstream... I run BeOS and OS/2 Warp.

    [–] aMockTie@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

    Pfft, those are still maintained (Haiku and ArcaOS respectively) and so corporate man.

    TempleOS all the way baby. Nothing is more powerful the the almighty HolyC.

    You don't need to ask, because they will tell you their thoughts regardless.

    Just switched to NixOS recently, after years on LMDE.

    I made this mistake once and every comment was a different distro, they were all upvoted, and everyone was saying good things about all of them.

    I just went with Ubuntu.

    There is a slight difference there. You don't ask the first two because social norms have pressured those groups to focus on those elements to unhealthy levels, so asking is, on a certain level, disrupting the peace of the other person by touching a sensitive area. The third is not. The third is poking your own peace because whether they have an extreme loyalty to one or a nuanced understanding of why different ones are better suited to different use cases, you are about to be talked at for an hour about it.
