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 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 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.

    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.

    All of the above. Since you know all commands on apt, dnf or pacman ~~the sky~~ nix is the limit.

    "All of the above" = BedrockLinux ?

    ... "Since you know all commands"

    [–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Okay, tbh, never heard about it.

    [–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    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.

    Ubuntu on WSL2

    I'd love to go full Nobara, if all my peripherials worked properly.

    I use Alpine Linux with Sway as my daily driver for browsing, writing scripts and to slowly customize my own work environment.

    I have a Linux Mint DE partition that launchs directly to Steam for gaming. Tried Bazzite but the installer failed to find my SSD.

    I also have a small partition that has an image of the LMDE .iso. It saves me from needing to grab a USB drive for when I inevitably fuck up the first two partitions and need a live USB environment to fix things.

    I keep all my backups, music, work and sensitive data in a separate partition that's encrypted so I can easily get back to work after any fuck ups. I've had of practice fixing my own fuck ups over the past year.

    I installed LXQt on Termux, Kubuntu on a VM, just so I could try and let an AI agent run amock on it.

    I'm the kind that will try to install Arch from scratch, multiple times if needed and when I get a barely working desktop with Hyprland I switch to cachy os with KDE Plasma. Because that just works and I learned what I wanted from the scratch install. Edit: Anything I host probably runs Debian, anything I have to support(parrents) runs Linux Mint or Ubuntu.

    After breaking opensuse tumbleweed I ended up on bazzite KDE. I think if I leave bazzite it will be for another immutable.

    "CentOS, just like your pappy."

    [–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

    I thought it's dead.

    Arch, btw

    (Kubuntu rly ;P)

    Ubuntu 8.10-12.04 Ubuntu MATE 14.04 Debian 8-13 with GNOME

    I've played around on a lot of other distros, but Debian with Gnome (set up like Gnome 2) has been my home for a while.

    Long term casual? I've been using it in some form since the early 00s when I installed Ubuntu 6 on an aging laptop. Currently I've got an HP Stream 13 that only functions thanks to Lubuntu, and Mint is on my work PC. Unfortunately thanks to a music hobby and a bunch of shitty VST vendors who refuse to support Linux I run Windows at home.

    I rarely open a terminal.

    Bazzite KDE on my gaming rig.

    SteamOS on my SteamDeck.

    Fedora Gnome on my laptop.

    Fedora XFCE on my Jellyfin server

    Android on my smartphone though soon to be Murena OS

    Would like to tinker with OpenSUSE leap soon too actually, maybe on an old laptop.

    I used to use fedora on my first school Thinkpad (since I recieved another when my brother graduated, becoming my second school laptop,) then after I got 2 considerably more powerful laptops for free I switched the thinkpads out of my setup, and to this day they still run windows 11 unfortunately (haven’t gotten around to it and they’re both nvidia MX business machines, so that’s not awfully ideal,) and then I converted the second Thinkpad to a FydeOS machine (basically chrome os with local accounts) to give to my mother as her own laptop, and then put chromeOS flex on a third Thinkpad I bought off a friend for $10 which remains as my occasional-browsing-but-also-throw-around-laptop that has pretty friggin good battery life.

    I do plan to switch at least one of the MX laptops to Linux, for which I’m considering Pop!_OS due to driver support and GPU configuration, but I’ve still gotta back some stuff up first.
