1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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.
5. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
- 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 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.

MODERATORS
- Ascend to BSD-land. Start with FreeBSD.
- Once that becomes mainstream, go to OpenBSD, then NetBSD, then the very-rarely-used DragonflyBSD.
- Once that becomes mainstream (probably never, but still possible theoretically) switch to OpenIndiana, the FOSS version of Solaris.
- Then you can go to something even weirder, like the obsolete IRIX, the mysterious Plan 9/9front/Inferno, or the Rusty alpha-stage Redox OS.
Nixos. Definitely more complicated, but better, and superior π
My PC is an electro mechanical pinball table from 1971 (Williams Klondike, btw) running Puppy Linux.

You guys are snobs. No, seriously, youre totally elitist. You feel like the unappreciated scholars, so you shit on the people who know less than you.

I wonder what Terry would have thought of AI assistant coders.

Haiku. It's a reimplementation of BeOS.
Alternatively, you could use ReactOS and make it look as windows-like as possible, and then go and post on Windows support forums with solutions to problems that work for ReactOS but not for actual Windows, and then play dumb while calling them dumb when it doesn't work for them.
I use arch btw.

Haiku or some port of AmigaOS, sadly forgot its name and Iβm too lazy to Qwant it.
AROS (Amiga Research OS) or MorphOS?
Just live program your system from scratch every time you start your computer
Never go full BSD!
If you're not on TempleOS, you were never really serious about feeling superior

Arch? So weak. I do everything only using the bios.
BIOS? I wired switches directly to the data and address lines of my RAM/CPU and toggle in the machine code directly every time I use my PC.

Make your own, coward. No distro so niche as one that has half a user because it's hardly usable.

NixOS is the new Arch. I'm surprised nobody here has said they use it yet.
Ive noticed this, arch almost just works but my nixOS friends are always complaining about something

Haiku OS! Backwards compatible with an OS that was abandoned in the early 2000s and was never popular in the first place! Zero ports! Use it for web browsing or something idduno!
Temple OS?
Plan9, then you can smugly say Unix systems are sooo legacy.
LFS, Plan9, Infernoβ¦
There are many options.
Open source Windows obviously. https://reactos.org/
All these recent Windows to Linux converts, whining about how Linux should be more like Windows, should be going to ReactOS. They want open source Windows, not open source Unix.

GNU Guix with the GNU Hurd kernel? A full GNU/GNU system, or GNU + GNU.

You get an ARM or RISCV machine to run Linux on obviously. Then you shit on the plebs with their legacy systems.
You also need PostmarketOS on your phone of course.
