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 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.

    I tried it once and gave up after realizing the necessary mental gymnastics to do simple things like installing something.

    I'm more interested in Mint 22

    LMNE: Linux Mint Nix Edition

    ...hmm

    Good idea, bad DSL and toxic community.

    Am currently on NixOS

    Looking to move to RedoxOS as soon as viable

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

    I've looked into the same, sad it's not viable yet...

    Well it'd need declarative configuration IMO, so maybe something like tvix would need to be integrated first. That could also get us to being DSL agnostic.

    Bur damn, RedoxOS (impl) is sexy.

    Is this a greek culinary specialty? "You have to try the Nixos, it melts in the mouth!"

    As someone who has never tried Linux, this meme has done more to make me want to give it a try than anything else Linux users have thrown at me so far. The fox is very convincing. I might step into the back of an unmarked van if it asked me to.

    I'm running openSUSE because I like lizards.

    NixOS is probably a bit more confusing than most Linux distros, but it has a huge amount of advantages too. It has very up to date software and probably never has dependency issues.

    That's par for the course for me. I'm the type that'll start a video game on the hardest difficulty for a challenge and then my pride won't let me lower the difficulty so I just quit under the guise of disliking it.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Then you probably shouldn't use Nix. Maybe try another distro if you haven't already.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    It's too late, his pride won't let him go any other distro.

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

    Give him GUIX instead.

    Foxes are like that though.

    They look cute and cuddly... The trustworthy kind, then they bite your hand off and laugh at you.

    Some of them are on fire too!
