1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • 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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Proton got me to dump Windows... NGL Windows 11 and Lemmy did help push me over the edge. I use Ubuntu btw.

    Lol u stole the Arch mantra... I use arch btw.

    Ubuntu mantra should be something else like "snaps are my homies"

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    I'll use snaps if I HAVE to, ex Telegram. AppImages just seem like the same prob with grabbing binaries, in terms of updates. I might jump on the FlatPak train if I didn't like apt so much. Man, OSX and brew really is so much better then this shit, just works and is always up to date.

    Brew sucks. It's soooo slooooow. Flatpak is awesome, AppImage is weird, and Snaps are kinda there as well I guess.

    Brew on Linux, yeah, I don't even bother. But on OSX it's a first class citizen, works as well as yum and apt.

    I'm using OSX for work and Homebrew is really slow there too. Honestly though that's really my only complaint. That, and some aesthetic yank caused by it being a bunch of shell and ruby scripts in a trench coat, but that's not an objective thing.

    I there is a setting to have it not check all packages for updates when installing a new one. I forget where. It's auto update something.
