- 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 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
sudoin 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. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
- 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 figures
We 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.

It is, if you think otherwise you are a weakling that needs prebuilt tools and can't write a few hundred lines of C for each task you want to perform.
just βlinuxβ in daily public speech is definitely the way to go branding-wise. no random pedestrian is gonna know what youβre talking about if you say GNU or Kubuntu or whatever (and they probably wonβt know βLinuxβ either, but the chance is marginally higher)
Yeah, I could say GNU/Linux or Google/Linux
But just saying Linux and people will (if they know the above) know which you are talking about based on context
I was that guy, but I gave up and just call it Linux, since there's really no other name you can call it at that point. GNU/Linux is as correct as Systemd/Linux or Electron/Linux (for these quite a few VScode/Spotify/Discord/Other Electron app enjoyers).
Or Wayland/Linux
I used to think like that, but now I'm on the fence since I've started working much more closely with packaging. Calling it "linux" is actually kind of harmful for adoption. Devs that claim their software works on Linux mislead people into thinking it works on any Linux distro, which is rarely true. Most of the time, those devs only test on Ubuntu and no other distro.
Maybe when Snaps finally die out and Flatpak emerges as the one true standard for desktop apps, then that problem will go away once and for all. Until then, I think we should normalize distinguishing Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, etc as separate "operating systems" instead of "distros", which is an unnecessary and misleading term anyways.

GZ, you just created a file! But it is empty π
...and you just gzipped it.
Keep them forever young
Create a blank GF out of thin air? Sure, if you say so.
gf not GF, what is this Windows??
She already exists! I swear!
You just updated her
As I make my way through terrible news stories on Lemmy, this is the first thing to make me laugh out loud. Both because I understand the pedantry and because I spent so much of my life wishing I had a gf.
This is me but without the girl
this is me but i donβt care about linux
so ru talking to yourself?
