1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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.

Biblically accurate Debian is a sentient twirly magenta spiral. Jk, I don't know, I hadn't thought of Naruto, tho it's a good reasoning. At first I just figured Debian should be a sophisticated looking lady with an old-ish style, both because it's an old distro and because it has what I find to be the most elegant logo. I thought of using animal features because I'd done it before with Arch in a previous meme, and that was due to the whole "femboy" cliche. I wondered if I should go for a cat again or some other cute animal, and I remembered there was a fox girl named Xenia which had once been proposed as a Linux mascot; so I went with that.
Finally, a representation of a linux distro not as a supergay/transgender femboy fox/cat/loli/shota.
I would expect some Toy Story character, but it seems that we really only have the pink swirl as a mascot. Thank Lord it does not have the eyes as Clippy does
