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 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.
  • 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.

    Shit, I think CachyOS and its gaming optimization made me jump to the end.

    And then NixOS is a t4t polycule

    [–] Naho_Zako@piefed.zip 37 points 5 days ago (7 children)

    t4t - trans for trans = two trans people dating

    polycule = polyamory, but not every person is dating each other. For example, in a 4 person polycule, maybe person a, c, and d are romantically together, but person a doesn't date b. Person b ONLY dates person c. Etc.

    Some people make memes/jokes about polycules, like "The weakest one of the polycule gets kicked off the island" and stuff like that, or this fascinating Tumblr heritage post (links to RedLib instance) about a polycule commune cult in Portland.

    So in this case the OP feels that using NixOS is like being in a polycule with a bunch of trans people, or that it will encourage you to transition and join a polycule.

    Dnf β€”best install estrogen

    [–] lena@gregtech.eu 23 points 5 days ago (2 children)

    This will take about 5 years to fully install

    DNF stands for Did Not Finish for a reason

    You forgot to remove the default Testosterone and install the Estrogen package instead.

    I will be honest with ya, if I looked better in dress than a shirt I would wear it. No Linux needed.

    You just gotta keep shopping, I'm sure you can find one that flatters you.

    [–] NoTagBacks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 5 days ago (7 children)

    Went from Windows directly to Arch and I just became an anarchist and (I'd argue) more masculine. Guess it's less about Trans and more about becoming more true to yourself.

    Free software -> free expression pipeline

    The free to free pipeline is real.

    I went from windows directly to arch and I don’t look that good.

    [–] unknowablenight@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    It's because you skipped the transition process.

    Not my fault that Linux wasn’t legal and/or easily obtained when I was youngerπŸ₯²

    Good news for ~~cos~~ cis (ducking autocorrect) men: If you started your journey before 2015, this scale is represented by a 19U beard instead.

    Oh fuck yeah I'm already at the end of the pipeline

    This is an aside but why is this the highest quality version of this image I've seen? I swear whenever I see this meme it looks like it's been faxed, scanned, compressed, jammed onto a floppy disk, ripped from the floppy disk, and then posted.
