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.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •

    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.

    And universal compatability. One repo, for all distros. That's a big plus too!

    Until it doesn't work. There's a lot of subtlety, and at some point you'll have to match what the OS provide. Even containers are not "run absolutely anywhere" but "run mostly anywhere".

    That doesn't change the point, of course; software that are dependent on the actual kernel/low level library to provide something will be hard to get working in unexpected situations anyway, but the "silver bullet" argument irks me.

    [–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

    Everything is flawed, there is no silver bullet. But again, it's still a massive improvement over what we had previously.

    [–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com -3 points 1 week ago

    That's called having just one distro.

    [–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com -4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    Great... Now, you just need to convince the big distros to do that... Easy!!!!111

    [–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

    Well, that's the neat part. We don't need to do that because what Flatpak does, doesn't matter for them. People can just install Flatpak in their system and they have access to everything. I realise for system components it's a different story, but that's not the use case, it's for applications.

    Edit: typo.

    Thats... the point of flatpak.
