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.

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

    Can someone seriously type with their penis? Impressive!

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

    When you watch it's really not that impressive.

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

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

    [–] [email protected] 58 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

    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.

    Your dad is a great dadjoker!

    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.

    ... My vacuum actually does run Linux.

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

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 10 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] 7 points 10 hours ago

    And suddenly I need a vacuum robot!

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

    Also got GLaDOS on my Z10 Pro!

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

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

    [–] [email protected] 57 points 13 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.

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

    Now this turned meta-referencial really quick.

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

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 12 hours ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 81 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 42 points 15 hours ago

    TempleOS is the one TRUE OS

    Installing on my fridge. Which one is the coolest?

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

    Void has a really badass name.

    You need Windows ME for that.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

    Vista also sucks pretty hard.

    [–] [email protected] 30 points 14 hours ago
    [–] [email protected] 41 points 15 hours ago

    I'd say Manjaro but they'd probably DDOS your vacuum on accident.
