Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    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.

    Damn I really can't argue with that. The developer is a prick

    I have some RedHat CDs from the late 1990s (probably collectible at this point). I remember having a great deal of difficulty mounting my particular cd rom to even install it. I never got a driver for my video card at the time to work, so the "graphics" were awful (640x480 text only, iirc).

    Anyway, few experiences will be more frustrating than trying to use them. I think it should be mandatory for aspiring computer people to play with them, so they can appreciate how far we have come.

    Our roborock robot vacuum runs Ubuntu (I'm not joking)

    [–] [email protected] 31 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    Apparently it's Athena Linux. At least, that's what the hackable vacuums use.

    Windows running WSL running a VM running Debian 2.2.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

    @frezik @NONE_dc with WSL2 not much interesting, it's just a VM with some custom drivers

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

    Not Linux, but VMS is specifically designed to run on VAX systems.

    Similar to a joke my dad told in the 90's

    If Microsoft ever makes a product that doesn't suck, it'll be a vacuum cleaner.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

    Your dad is a great dadjoker!

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

    You need Windows ME for that.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 11 minutes ago

    Vista also sucks pretty hard.

    Linux from Scratch

    ... My vacuum actually does run Linux.

    !It's a roborock with Valetudo installed so it doesn't need internet access!<

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

    There are dozens of us! Mine is a Dreame D9 with a custom GLaDOS voice pack that I can change by updating a CVS file.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

    Also got GLaDOS on my Z10 Pro!

    Love Valetudo - it integrates so well with HA and is entirely local.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

    And suddenly I need a vacuum robot!

    [–] [email protected] 40 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    the one you, the reader, uses

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 6 hours ago

    Now this turned meta-referencial really quick.

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 5 hours ago

    Manjaro might be good, but you'll have to adjust the vacuum's clock every time you want to clean

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    RHEL because the best Linux is the one you pay for.

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    There's people who pay for Linux!? 😭

    Oracle linux, just tell them your carpet has an unlicensed database.

    [–] [email protected] 44 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

    I was invited to a user group where oracle Linux was trying to get more adopters. The coolest thing they had was the ability to update a kernel driver while it was running. In place. Without downtime.

    I asked them if they planned on pushing this improvement to the kernel devs and they just gave me a blank face.

    Told me everything I needed to know about Oracle Linux. I promptly formatted the thumb drive they gave me for free.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago

    If they released it for free then Ubuntu wouldn't have Ubuntu Pro to sell subscriptions to.

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

    They actually have an oracle cloud too. It's used by some companies... And it's awful.

    [–] [email protected] 73 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

    All of them except Hannah Montana Linux, which is the One True Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 38 points 9 hours ago
