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 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.
  • Β 

    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 remove France.

    To be fair. This can be applied to apple and windows users sometimes.

    I saw this, told my cats, and felt better

    [–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    I feel worse because I don’t have cats and you do have cats. It’s a catastrophe.

    • step one: put food bowl out and refill it on a constant schedule
    • there is no step two

    Edit: listing is hard

    [–] HelloHotel@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Will I ever get to pet these "cats".

    [–] limer@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago

    You mean should one choose to mark their territory on your hand or arm? Depends on the quality of food, human

    [–] knacht1@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

    Step two, clean litter box. Rinse repeat.. 😠

    They can do the cat command. I may have moved a paw to help

    [–] ulterno@programming.dev 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    No idea about the cats but it would be good if my mice were to switch to QMK.

    [–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)
    [–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago

    Yes, most of my mice are wired.
    There's one that is not, but it went bad pretty quickly.

    I use glorious Nixos.

    This is not a recommendation. It is an abusive relationship. Do not install nixos without research.

    [–] BodilessGaze@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 days ago

    NixOS is a dangerous drug, but at least it's a drug without side effects, since Nix is purely functional.

    Isn't this mainly an Arch meme? I think most Linux users who have been using it for several years don't go around talking much about it anymore. But I admit the meme kinda does depict mid-teenage me who had recently switched to Linux.

    [–] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Hey guys, I use Linux Mint btw!

    [–] Jeremyward@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    I been thinking about trying pop! OS, anyone got reviews?

    [–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

    Not as good as Mint for me

    [–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago

    It's like the Crossfit of tech

    [–] Reygle@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

    Holy crap maybe that's why I've been in such a trash mood for a few weeks

    Btw I don't use Arch

    [–] cute_noker 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

    Akshually its called GNU/Linux πŸ€“

    [–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    I'm still on Windows 10. Sure would love a reason to switch...

    You fucking fiends.

    [–] cute_noker 5 points 6 days ago (4 children)

    It's actually really easy, the best is to start with Linux From Scratch. That's how you get a couple of hours of heartwarming fun and games.

    Start on your grandmother's PC she can join the fun

    [–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

    Great, thanks. But isn't she going to be confused by the lack of anything to click on? She doesn't know how to "hack" or "code" or whatever you Linux brainiacs do lol...?

    [–] cute_noker 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    She will catch right on, just trust my advice. A "mouse" is overrated, I haven't used on in years. Once you memorize the man pages(just a few minutes) should be smooth sailing

    I feel personally attacked by this post.

    [–] M137@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

    I'm the opposite, I generally don't mention it because I know that I won't be able to keep myself from talking too much about it. If it's someone who's at my place and they ask what I'm using or I just see them looking confused about what's going on when I'm using it I'll gladly show them but never do the whole speech thing about why and why they should too etc.

    [–] St0ner@lemmy.wtf 4 points 6 days ago

    Told the wasps outside and they stung me for my insolence.

    [–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago

    I use windows and Mac os

    [–] chemicalprophet@slrpnk.net 3 points 6 days ago

    I haven’t mentioned Linux for decades

    [–] brachiosaurus@mander.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

    You should make a meme about tech corporations spending billions to advertise their products

    I just go here everyday and tell it, the void doesn't judge, it just accepts and disregards.

    I use Mint btw.
