  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Crazy, rich South Africans is how we got Ubuntu

    [–] [email protected] 65 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    But would you like to upgrade to Ubuntu pro?

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    Ubuntu pro is not at all a bad thing. It's free to consumers but you can also just ignore it if you don't need it.

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Can we disable the prompt?

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    The ssh prompt? I think you just need to mess with the files in /etc/update-motd.d

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    The prompt on the desktop that says there and pending updates that can only be installed with Pro.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

    I've been using Ubuntu for about 3, years now on the desktop and I don't know what you're talking about. Where exactly is that prompt? And they're not hiding updates behind pro, it's just extra on top of the updates you'd get on other distros.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    It’s free?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    It is for up to 5 devices, so small-scale homelab stuff can be covered without cost.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    How tf does one do that

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

    Does what? Sign up for ubuntu pro? For that you just need to go to their website and register. For the homelab stuff you could start small - maybe a linux nas with a few VMs for a pihole or something.

    Ubuntu is a gateway drug to Arch.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (4 children)

    And arch is a gateway drug to NixOS or gentoo

    Select your drug now

    I smoke my Linux with a filter.

    Ah, a Zorin user

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I have selected Fedora. Where did I go wrong?

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

    Something something IBM something

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I'm an Arch user flirting with the idea of NixOS. Is it too late to save me?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

    Hes to far gone SMH

    I ran nix for awhile and it was super stable, i just kinda got bored of using it. I know its really powerful with nixpills and flakes.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

    Funny Gentoo actually was my gateway to arch. Loved the customizability of Gentoo and the rolling release model.

    But building Chrome and Firefox (I needed both for work reasons sometimes) every update was the nail in the coffin. Switched to Arch and didn't miss a thing.

    It's also how we got snap packages and apartheid, and I'm not even sure which of those is worse. (yes, I'm joking)

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    Could you elaborate on this for those of us who don't know the context?

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    Canonical, the company that is responsible for Ubuntu, was founded by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth to sell B2B Linux tech support.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

    Aha thanks for letting me know 👍

    Ubuntu

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

    Par for the course

    [–] [email protected] 28 points 5 months ago

    Linux Musk sounds like the evil counterpart to Mint. A fork of Red Star OS, etc.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

    Linux Musk Cinnamon. Yours for a modest subscription.

    I mean Tesla cars are just x86 Linux machines
