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.

    Why does nobody just use a basic Gentoo setup? Compiling custom kernels and using tons of use flags And cflags isn't actually going to make your PC faster. Just install the distribution kernel and use march=native.

    What's a ubuntoo?

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (6 children)

    Ah, yes, ANOTHER post trying to make Linux seem impenetrable and elitist with an attack on Ubuntu - I swear you guys must work for Microsoft.

    [–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    Ah, yes, another user offended by a joke posted to a community with memes.

    [–] [email protected] -3 points 6 months ago (4 children)

    Isn't it embarrassing using the same excuses as every 4chan racist and misogynist?

    You're affecting how people perceive Linux and doing so in a negative way, I'm not going to try and stop you or anything but I am going to say I think you're a bad person working against all the efforts and hard work of people trying to make a better world.

    How you feel about it is upto you.

    Oh and of course this was just a joke so you have to laugh and agree, right?

    average 5 year ubuntu user

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (5 children)

    Stalks my post history to find out I use Ubuntu for my daily driver. Didn't mention I've been using Linux since before the twin towers fell and am a long term open source dev and contributor...

    Almost like you purposely chose to be deceptive or something. I know it wasn't a choice though, this kind of immorality comes naturally to you and maybe you're not even aware of it. You should try and work on it though, you'll be amazed how much better a life of radical self awareness is.

    Hardened gentoo was great when grsecurity had their kernel patches opened freely to the public, but now idk. I'm more into hardenedbsd than anything gentoo nowadays.

    Every day this sub is in the active feed and I could not be more removed from the intended audience lol

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago

    This will continue until you're part of the intended audience.

    spoilerOkay, it won't stop even then.

    DiCaprio would object to people older than 25 being in his group

    honestly open source software is important.

    I am a Microsoft user (sorry) but don't think my company will allow use of other programs due to software policy.

    Is there an open soursce excel and powerbi / powerpoint thing ?

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    LibreOffice Calc is pretty good. Your company can invest in a fork and it should do what you need.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    Power BI is a different kind of beast though. Soon only available as part of Microsoft Fabric, a SaaS analysis platform. Sure, the technically inclined can use Python/R/Julia with MongoDB, a set of SQL DBs, some CI and Plotly/Dash, but that effectively requires to have some Software- and Data Engineers on staff and some dedicated machines/VMs. Power BI / Fabric is much cheaper for small to medium sized companies outside of IT.

    Neat

    Thanks for a free answer you could charge somebody for :)

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Thats interesting! Thanks for elaborating.

    I have never heard of it so I cant say if there is an alternative but Iβ€˜m pretty sure being vendor locked like this is MUCH more expensive than using a more complicated bit open solution in the long term.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Open source enterprise solutions are pretty much non-existent, thus it's never cheaper to go open source.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Feel free to show a usecase where that is the case. the actual cost and opportunity cost of a vendor lock in is quite severe.

    Man, I wish there were more people around me who cared about discussing Linux and open source software. Only one person I know actually understands it, but he’s still running windows for games and programming.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Then youβ€˜re definitely in the wrong circle. Join a local computer club if that exists. Changes things dramatically.

    People drink the Microsoft Kool aid, it's called money, they generally want it.

    They have been taken by the dark side.

    It is said that the true linux developer can survive for months at a time on nothing but a piece of dead skin from a callus on his foot and the energy of the community-maintained free and open-source software

    Wait, there's someone here aware of hardened gentoo? Well I'll be damned! Come out of the shadows, fellas!

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I'm always hard when someone talks about Gentoo!

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Excuse me, sir, it's the Gentoo bits that are supposed to be hard, not yours.

    On an unrelated note - I'm building a binhost. Currently stuck on trying to figure out a way of building packages without instaling them and not using quickpkg>
