  • 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.

  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

    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.

    Didn't notice the community, came here hoping for a RHEL shitpost.

    Got confused when there was only RHEL shitposts.

    Hatred Enterprise Linux being marketed to the US gov

    [–] wltr@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    They would dismantle that and would do Hatred From Scratch.

    [–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 6 points 3 hours ago

    Scratch might be complex for their mental age.

    Exactly, linux mint supremacy

    Why do Linux people shit talk each other for using a different distro? It makes no sense.

    [–] lena@gregtech.eu 9 points 3 hours ago (4 children)

    On the server...? Isn't RHEL used primarily on servers?

    [–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 1 points 44 minutes ago

    If that counts as use of RHEL: All workstations of our institute were running CentOS.

    [–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 hours ago

    Yes and no. Fedora is the upstream of RHEL, and like Fedora there are both workstation and server editions. The relationship is similar to RHEL being the LTS of Fedora but not quite the same. A lot of governments and enterprises that have switched to Linux for workstations are using RHEL.

    [–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

    Almost exclusively.

    [–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

    Long-term support and distro-branched tool chains are a boon to the workstation too. And all of lennarts cancer has been in support of dynamic networking changes and wifi devices; no overlap with a server, but they include that shit at every turn. So obviously they're primarily gears for laptops and servers are a target of opportunity -- and their decline in stability over 3-4 distro versions just backs that up.

    I don't think even England wants Kings

    [–] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

    Yeah Lizzy was ok (still monarch and all that but she was like our collective grandma) but this new one is kinda bad imo.

    If only Cromwell hadn't been a genocidal madman who banned Christmas and music, Britain would still be a republic today.

    Revolutions tend to make things worse, even when things are already pretty bad.

    They’d be so offended if they could spell

    [–] BillyClark@piefed.social -4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    It didn't help their cause when they coincidentally came out with the "Fascist Fedora" release, and they had to decide to stop naming their releases after types of governments.

    Honestly, it's a little weird that people can't identify such obvious shitposting in a meme community. This is the second time it's happened in two weeks.
