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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 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.

    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.

    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.

    Mostly Snap. I'm not fundamentally opposed to a new package manager (I'm fine with Flatpak), but it has a proprietary store that can't easily be circumvented like you can with Flatpak's main store, and snap-packaged applications had kinda bad performance for a long time (IDK what the current state is on Ubuntu 26.04, but it's gone on for way too long).

    They also have a history of making decisions that are obviously not what the users want (e.g. the Amazon integration they did - if this is the first time you hear about it, look it up; it's pretty much a case study of everything that's wrong with how Ubuntu is being run), which gives me very little confidence in how they're going to handle AI/LLMs - Canonical is a commercial entity, after all.

    I'm in the process of fully switching to Debian, which is at least a fully community-developed distro and has come a long way since the time when Canonical took Debian and added a huge amount of user-friendly streamlining. I might change my mind depending on the outcome of Debian's ongoing "how do we deal with AI"-discussion, though.

    Yeah, the sneaky crap with snaps makes me want to avoid them all by itself, I left Windows to get away from that kind of forced decision. The Amazon thing was pretty bad too.

    The last straw came when I evaluated it vs Debian for a home server, first update after install and it threw a scare warning making it sound like my system would be insecure if I didn't pay for pro, and I'm just so not into that kind of manipulative bullshit. I shut down the VM and deleted it immediately and I'll never touch them by choice again.

    I've been on Debian since the start of the year and been having a grand old time. I rarely think about it.
