Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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
sudoin 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. ๐ฌ๐ง Language/ัะทัะบ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฆ๐บ๐บ๐ธ
- 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 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.

Around half a year based off my commits which in retrospect is a short amount of time. It took me off guard because it felt like around a year before checking. Probably because of the steep learning curve that put me through a lot in a short amount of time. Lol
I guess I will have my coming of age ceremony when I will bother doing my first major nixos update since I haven't bothered doing one yet as I haven't felt the need to warrant spending the time on it. โ๏ธ
Oh lol. You're not on unstable?
That explains why you've not had any issues lol.
Changing channels every six months is a dice roll - sometimes fine, other times shit breaks.
Depends how complex your system is I suppose, but the major releases are always the most work if youre pinning versions.
Uh oh. I thought it's a common practice to use stable by default and unstable where needed for stability. Is this less common than I thought?
It's mostly the difference between:
"Wanting to resolve all your discrepancies at once"
Or,
"Gradually, as they roll out"
Stable is less work for sure, but it just means having to do everything at once.
You just need to remember to update your channel in your flake every six months and then set your options as they rotate.
