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 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
sudoin 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.
5. ๐ฌ๐ง Language/ัะทัะบ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฆ๐บ๐บ๐ธ
- Comments written in other languages are allowed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We 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. ย
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.

MODERATORS
1st: Fedora
2nd: Arch
Debian would be: "nothing changed!" (with a sad or happy guy depending on use case)
With Debian it's more like "cool, everything still works as expected."
Source: I don't use Arch btw.
indeed
Your arch system would probably have updates unless you just updated within the last few minutes. Being suprised seems a bit unnecessary.
I sometimes update out of habit almost immediately after I updated. That's always a little disappointing.
And then you actually have a new update available... Happens to me to often
Oh god, me too. It's a Pavlovian response!
Finally, a use for the
* * * * * *cron expression!If you're on Arch, then you want those tasty hourly updates om nom nom
source: I use Arch btw
All I wanna do is sudo pacman -Syu
paru -Syu, you don't want to forget your AUR packages, right?You can do the same with just
paru. No flags necessary.Or save yourself a character and just
yayHeathen, using any software not written in rust is sacrilege
pacman -R linux-*
Exactly what I always do, since I have to use a kernel not written in rust I uninstall the kernel once I've booted so it's only in memory and no longer tainting my storage with its impurity
I'll even add some characters and use pikaur
I like to be a bit more explicit than necessary.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Unless you're trying to get a movie or game to get a teen-friendly rating, in which case you might not want to make the sex scenes quite as explicit.
I have seen horrors beyond comprehension because i tried updating aur packages
Well, it's easy enough if you only use precompiled packages. Beyond that you should probably have a better understanding of what you are doing.
Oh no i know what im doing. I just had dependency hell way to often with aur packages so i just dont update them anymore unless i need to do so
Not being able to Syu every 5 minutes and only being able to update once a day was the biggest challenge when I changed to NixOS
