  • 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.
  • 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.

    The one you fucking feel like using. God, stop trying to make tribes mandatory.

    [–] [email protected] 75 points 4 days ago (6 children)

    Never heard of it. What packaging system does Tribes use?

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    Well, it's built to use Ooga, but it's also set up to be able to handle Booga as well. It depends on the driver set you need to load Fire and Club.

    *Except for beginners

    Try a beginner distro, and when you're done with the tutorial, go ahead and install your arches or nixes, IDC

    I made this mistake once and every comment was a different distro, they were all upvoted, and everyone was saying good things about all of them.

    I just went with Ubuntu.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

    It's the canonical choice

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

    Linux is like dogs, they’re all good bois.

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

    That's okay, chances are half the different distros people were talking up were Ubuntu.

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (3 children)

    Excuse me sir or madam, do you have time to talk about our lord and savior NixOS?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

    We need a healthy mashup OS between TinyCore, KolibriOS, ReactOS, and TempleOS, then I'll be happy.

    [–] [email protected] 52 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    I thought you said healthy.

    It depends on who’s asking. But if it’s someone who is curious about Linux, it’s always Mint.

    Never ask a woman her age.

    A man the length of his penis.

    And Someone who posts memes like this how long they had to dig to get to this ancient stereotype.

    Shame on all of you for not knowing Hanna Montana Linux is the best possible OS ever.

    I thought that it's a fact everyone using Linux just instinctively knew.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

    There is a slight difference there. You don't ask the first two because social norms have pressured those groups to focus on those elements to unhealthy levels, so asking is, on a certain level, disrupting the peace of the other person by touching a sensitive area. The third is not. The third is poking your own peace because whether they have an extreme loyalty to one or a nuanced understanding of why different ones are better suited to different use cases, you are about to be talked at for an hour about it.

    Why is Tux flipped, is this some sort of subliminal message? Is BigTech behind of this meme?

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago

    Oh, oups. That's a remnance from a meme I made a few minutes earlier. However now Tux is looking towards the text, therefore this was all planned.

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago (3 children)

    The best distribution is always the one you currently use. All others are trash.

    You either use Debian, or Debian With Extra Steps, so I went with Debian

    [–] SpaceCowboy 5 points 3 days ago

    Yeah why would someone ask a question when the answer is so obvious?

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

    i only use this linux

    Pretty much any distro can do any of the things Windows/Mac users are hoping a computer can do. So just pick one and stick with it. Once you're familiar with Linux, the benefits/drawbacks of each distro will become clearer, and you'll be able to make an informed decision. People will tell you "Arch is more lightweight than Mint" but compared to Windows/MacOS, all Linux distros are going to feel blazingly fast and lightweight. The only decent advice is, if you are just starting out and you have an Nvidia GPU, use a distro that sets that up for you automatically. It's not super complicated to set up, but it's definitely going to feel like a foreign experience the first time.

    You don't need to ask, because they will tell you their thoughts regardless.

    Just switched to NixOS recently, after years on LMDE.
