  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 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.

    There's no hate like Linux on Linux hate.

    Jerry Springer meme - user attacked for installing ubuntu on a steam deck

    I don't know man, have you seem how much Star Wars fans hate Star Wars?

    No You're breathtaking!

    Diversity is a huge strength of Linux. We should encourage users to use whatever works for them.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    As much as I agree that it's super nice with all these different flavours. It does make it more difficult for beginners to understand the eco system.

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

    If you use Open Source, you have the cool sauce.

    It's all good, diversity and shit... until somebody asks "How do I install Kali Linux for daily driving?"

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

    Reminds me of when I was looking up an issue for Kali Linux and saw like 10 different reddit threads, all full of β€œdon’t use Kali Linux unless you know how to use it”. Which was very helpful when I had to use it for my coursework.

    Side note: the most downvoted comment contained actual advice that fixed my problem.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

    The strangest choice I've seen for a daily driver is I had a friend who used Knoppix as his daily driver. He started using it on a thumb drive when his computer died, so he just used a thumb drive and random borrowed computers for a while, after getting used to it he transfered the install to his new laptop when he got it.

    That's beyond bad taste and into active stupidity.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I sure hope you posted this from a distro that I like, if not then there may be consequences.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (5 children)

    I use Mint and I'm not even sorry. Fight me!

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

    Mint with Cinnamon here. It just works. I maybe google how to troubleshoot something once per week max πŸ‘Œ

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    I used Ubuntu Mate, weird combo I guess?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    I use Arch btw but got into Linux with Mint and I'm glad I did. Really solid distro!

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    Mint is a fantastic distro. I had good luck with it.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    that's cool... on a side note have you heard of our lord and savior Arch Linux? You should use it btw (/s)

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

    You're obviously a basement-dwelling, Mountain Dew swilling neckbeard! I hope your mom burns the tendies again tonight!

    All that matters is that you're on linux, unless you use gnome.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Back in 2007 a Linux user wished on a monkey's paw that Linux would be the most popular operating system in regular use, and then Android was unveiled.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    Should've said "GNU/Linux"

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Maybe it was only said as a meme, but, I like gnome quite a lot. I find it about 10x less annoying than W10/W11 and 7x less annoying than MacOS. What else should I be taking a look at though?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    KDE!

    Then again, I use Hyprland as my daily, so :/

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    What about a Gnome Desktop fork?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    the only ones I know are far enough from it that it would be in bad faith to judge them on that

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    That reminds me of the meme about the guy putting a crowbar at his bicycle wheel.

    I have no problem at all about you using gnome; except if you come to me complaining about gnome. Even worse if you come to me complaining about Linux by reciting the shit gnome does.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

    lol true :P All that matters is that you're on Linux, unless you use anything other than Arch

    [–] Album 3 points 2 years ago

    My favorite Linux distro is Android. /Ragebait

    [–] Dustwin 2 points 2 years ago

    Finally, a safe place for RBOS.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

    I don't need other people to think it. I'm simply feeling cool over here

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

    Aaah, unless and as long as I use vannila Ubuntu + GNOME combo.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

    Shaming people for using Ubuntu or other β€œeasy” distros is how you prevent people from joining the community long term. We’d be better served by being welcoming and understanding of people

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    Absolutely, I'm using MX and people I know use Ubuntu or Arch and we all don't care

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    Tell me that your distro sucks without telling me your distro sucks

    /s

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    But it’s not cool unless you know how to install arch (doesn’t mention that there’s literally a script that does it for you)
