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 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 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.

    See this makes me feel like I should be using arch, but I'm an idiot whos practically slobering all over the keyboard. I just want my pretty ui and for inkscape and my browser to work and to not have to worry about things unless I'm choosing to tinker

    If I have to use the terminal for an prolonged period of time I might cry. I almost got void fully installed and working, but I just wanted my new replacement laptop up and running after my old one broke, so I gave up πŸ₯Ή

    Same. I feel well represented as a Debian user.

    Tuxedo OS - a child in a red tuxedo t-shirt

    I've been on TuxedoOS for a while. Everything has worked so well I've managed to quell my distro hopping for a couple years now.

    It's pretty underrated, it's like Mint or Pop but with KDE (and therefore better) and better optimization if you buy their hardware.

    Swap Ubuntu and mint, and Suse needs to be visibly German.

    I have limited experience here, but can confirm that being a sleeping baby is quite pleasant.

    I too am new to Linux and love mint

    [–] Sxan@piefed.zip 4 points 2 hours ago

    I love Mint because I put my geriatric, non-techie dad on it 6 or 7 years ago and he's only asked me for help 3 times. And ΓΎe second time was because he bought a new (used) laptop and wanted Linux Mint on it instead of ΓΎe Windows it came wiΓΎ.

    Nah. Mint users aren't babies, they're the most everyman user. You probably won't find them on a linuxmemes page because they installed it out of frustration with co-pilot and don't want to know what an operating system is.

    Ubuntu is accurate. Arch is accurate and also how dare you. Fedora is slander. That's linus torvalds' distro you're dissing. Debian… Gonna go out on a limb and say nobody uses debian on a personal machine. If its installed on something its your set it and forget it machine. The webserver that serves your neocities ass looking website. or your company's email server. Its not for old people, its for old machines. Or machines that plan on growing old.

    Idk about the mega neckbeard for opensuse. Every one I've met has been the most normal and least annoying. It just works and allegedly has some very nice convienence features.

    Also the arch user could just as easily be copied to nixos.

    What about us distrohoppers? Just schizos?

    That would explain a lot about me...

    Ha, I WISH mint was accurate. Then I could be in bed asleep.

    [–] richardisaguy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

    This is me as an opensuse user

    [–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

    I sleep as cozy as a baby in a cable knit onesie with Mint on my computers. Looks pretty accurate.

    [–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

    Can confirm. Run OpenSUSE and my neckfolds run for days.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. All I see are legs that have never completed a single squat.

    I installed Debian on a VM just to test out a Necesse Lan server for the home/family.... I did not like it.
