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. 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    • 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.

    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.

    File extensions, wanting a GUI for everything, running some random threat detection software, assuming that Linux is lightweight so therefore it will make old machines have modern performance... The list goes on

    [–] Ferus42@lemm.ee 1 points 22 hours ago

    Well, at least for me...

    Yeah, I do like me some file extensions.

    I want a GUI for some things, but I'm perfectly comfortable with SSH into a machine as well. My general purpose server has a DE on it. My second server has a specific use and has no DE, nor do my IOT devices. All of them are headless.

    I have an older laptop with Arch (btw) on it. It runs well for what I use it for. I understand I'm not watching YouTube in 4K though. The CPU and GPU have their limits.

    I find this list weird. I guess I'm the kind of person you're complaining about!

    I like having GUI available for standard stuff (eg. dconf editor is great for various desktop settings). And I like file extensions in many cases - eg. I like to be able to tell the difference between a .png and .jpeg just by reading the file name. ... And Linux often really does give better performance on older machines compared to Windows.

    ... So I suppose in your eyes I'm basically an old Windows admin brining bad habits to Linux. I'm just not seeing the downside of these 'bad habits'.

    Yeah. Now I get the best of both worlds. First time I need a setting, I do a nice search, instant result, and click toggle.

    If I love that setting, as a power user, I can script the change to every future computer I use.

    If not, I search settings, instant result, toggle back.

    Gnome is amazing lately.

    Wanting GUI for everything is a bad habit?

    That is just regular consumer needs.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

    I wouldn't have any issue if it was a consumer device.

    The problem is when it is a server.
