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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Debian. It gets shit done.

    NixOS for the exact same Reason.

    At some Point you just stop hopping.

    Ironically i started using NixOS in order to distrohop. I thought it'd be nice to have everything in one config file so i can easily recreate my system if one of my hops explodes.

    Well, that didn't quite go as planned. Using it for 2 years now.

    I was recommended nix, because I used to use Linux with snapshots and write my setup notes in bash scripts

    I just wanted to run docker with gpu access though...a dozen distros known for Nvidia support, I decided if I had to eat a shit sandwich, I would eat it once.

    Nix actually showed the desktop with the generic driver... It was faster to see up docker and vscode and everything else then to enable the Wi-Fi

    Nix is the one true Linux. Look at the lengths they go through to emulate a fraction of our greatness

    I don't use Arch, by the way.

    Remember the famous meme scene in Skyrim where you wake up for the first time?

    Debian is the horse and cart you don't even pay attention to but faithfully and reliably carries you where you need to go. It may be old, but its careful and safe and won't harm you.

    Arch is just an angry pissed off dragon. Very powerful. Good luck taming it.

    where you need to go

    My execution. That's where it carries me. A black screen of death. The only thing that can save me is:
