- 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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
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.

"Debian or Arch?"
spoiler
RPMs are better than DEBs
Yeah I get some good RPMs on my 2001 Honda Civic.
Elaborate.
Reverse UNO
NixOS* but yes
Hence why so many of us are gay for each other.
Iβm all for touching as long as we donβt sudo
Debian
Debian.
Her: it depends on who's asking and their usecase
- Pls marry me (pls)
She's just baffled that anyone who knows those two distributions could be so dense as to whittle down the vast infinite sea of possible options to just two incredibly boring ones. She would have cried next if he hadn't done it.
Also, OpenSUSE.
well the vast majority of those are just arch and debian with extra steps, with the occasional fedora based or independent distro

Yep. "Depends on the use case" is a solid answer.

OS/2 Warp
SOLD!
God that was a glorious OS.
I was in sales around the time in between 2.1 and 4. Win 3 was the current and you could hardly multitask anything that wasn't idle.
I found out you could open a music video 9 times and tile it and it just worked (a little slow)
I was all wtf are we even selling Windows, this is amazing.
Then win95 hit, and it could do the same time.
Microsoft had us put out a table with win95, I ran that exact demo with the Edie Brickell video from the install CD and copies flew off the floor.
Funny thing, not like a single person there would ever do that, but that's all they needed to see
My wife uses Debian, but I love her anyway. β€οΈ
Do you call her Debbie Anne?
Fun fact that not a lot of people seem to know: the name is a portmanteau of "Deborah" and "Ian". The names of the Creator and his then wife
