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 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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 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.
  • 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.

    Those are based on Debian. Not Debian. If you ask for a debian and I give you pop_os, you'd probably not like it.

    And flavours are flavours, not distro. It's the same distro, just different settings

    Ok guys. This is the comment chain. Let’s do it. πŸΏπŸ—‘οΈβš”οΈπŸ€Ί

    Then, if we are to follow that logic of excluding derivatives, then we get NixOS, Arch, LFS, TinyCore Linux, Gentoo, Debian (of course!) and... I give up; what else is out there?

    And I use Debian, just to put it on record.

    [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Void, Solus, Exherbo, Suse, Fedora...

    [–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    The saddest part on your comment was that Suse was my first distro and it did not register in my mind. As for Fedore, althoug I still insist calling it Red Hat.

    [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

    I initially typed "Suse and Red Hat" but then I changed it to say Fedora because I wanted to avoid some pedantic comments about "But Red Hat doesn't exist anymore!" or on the opposite extreme, reductive inaccuracies like "But Red Hat is for enterprise!"

    In other words, your comment is very valid. I also thought about just saying "RPM-based distros" because your initial list didn't have any.

    And I thought about mentioning Mandriva separately, but I know that was originally a Red Hat fork, and also now we're kinda getting into the weeds...

    [–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

    Oh I don't mean derivatives doesn't count. As their own. I mean when saying "debian" you don't say "Ubuntu". Just say both

    I don’t know what sarcasm is anymore.

    [–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

    Sarcasm died and left it's place to be occupied by literalism. The most ridiculous things have become literal.

    The term I use is "Debian family", "Red Hat family", etc.
