1. Follow the site-wide rules

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!

    Finally a reference to arch btw that I can not roll my eyes at. Should be a sticky post.

    Ubuntu ain't broke, usually, so I don't fix it.

    I use a computer btw

    At least they don't base their personality around hating a person or group

    We collectively hate windows.

    ... Or how I have taken to call it lately, Windows plus Microsoft...

    solve for x

    x = arch

    that's pretty much all I've seen here

    I use XFree86, BTW.

    Oh thank God. I thought they were bragging about using Twitter.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

    I use NixOS btw

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

    First I somehow understood it like X as ex-twitter, and was like, "whoa, never saw it, bit interesting and kinda unique". Then made connection to Arch, and finally then to X11 /xorg. Huh

    [–] [email protected] 53 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as X, is in fact, X11/X.Org, or as I've recently taken to calling it, X11 plus X.Org. X11 is not an display server unto itself, but rather a free protocol of a fully functioning X.Org system ...

    I took it to mean, people who says "I use *, BTW" so like, "I use Arch BTW" "I use Reddit BTW" "I program in HTML, BTW". Maybe I'm thinking of this wrong, BTW.

    i though the same thing before reading other comments

    When you get done, can you suck my dick too?

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    How does one learn this skill?

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

    Just start out sucking other people's dicks and go from there

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

    Are there other ways? Like people who don't have sparring partners or gyms nearby opting to learn martial arts from youtube videos?

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

    Marilyn Manson?

    Wayland is still too broken for him?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

    I use a mouse btw.

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

    I've been daily driving the same Arch installation at work without any issues... for the past five years.

    Holy smokes. Surely no one on lemmy would announce that they still use x! That place is a disaster!

    [edit] oh. I get it now. They just meant they don't think Wayland is ready yet. Sorry.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

    I use Wayland, BTW.
