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 will not be tolerated.
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
sudoin 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 figures
We 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.

Okay, tbh, never heard about it.
It's not for everyone.
Takes a fair bit of reading to understand.
Makes file paths longer.
Likely requires already knowing several distros.
Yeah, reading the introduction-page actually, and got the joke now. Meta-Linux, building a system with components from all. Interesting but to much hassle. If I need something from a different distro there are tools like distrobox.
Yeah. I've never really bothered with distrobox, having already been using bedrock since 2012.
In many ways, bedrock makes things less hassle.
sudo brl fetch gentoo. And can take ones time configuring it, already being in the comfort of whatever other strata already hijacked and fetched. Much less hassle than the rigmarole of a proper stage3 install following the handbook. It's sorta like you get to choose your favourite installer of whichever distro, as a way to install gentoo. (On this computer, for a change I tried MXLinux to hijack, and fetched gentoo (and artix and void). On the computer to my left, I installed AntiX, and fetched gentoo (and artix and void)).But yeah, in some ways it's adding hassles too. Gains and losses.
