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.
  • 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, <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.
  • Β

    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.

    Ironically it's probably Suckless.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

    Is suckless a distro? I thought it was just a collection of software

    What is a distro but a collection of software?

    Is it actually sucky? I think I installed that once, but I didn't use that laptop much.

    Does windows for linux count?

    If not, maybe azure linux

    Maybe ubuntu since its recommended by microsoft

    There was a Windows tablet I bought for PDFs only. It ran some terrible Windows 8 lite version. That would easily be the worst Linux distro.

    Windows RT. What a pile.

    Red Star anybody?

    "I use Arch btw"

    I have some RedHat CDs from the late 1990s (probably collectible at this point). I remember having a great deal of difficulty mounting my particular cd rom to even install it. I never got a driver for my video card at the time to work, so the "graphics" were awful (640x480 text only, iirc).

    Anyway, few experiences will be more frustrating than trying to use them. I think it should be mandatory for aspiring computer people to play with them, so they can appreciate how far we have come.

    It'll randomly doze off whenever you don't look at it for 5 seconds, tho.

    Damn I really can't argue with that. The developer is a prick

    Can someone seriously type with their penis? Impressive!

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

    When you watch it's really not that impressive.

    Whoa, whoa, there are people who don't like Windows? I thought Windows was like the king of operating systems?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    You need Windows ME for that.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

    Vista also sucks pretty hard.

    Our roborock robot vacuum runs Ubuntu (I'm not joking)
