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.
  • 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, 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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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 figuresWe 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.
  • Β 

    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.

    Hey don't bash Excel, it can run Linux too, although heavily stripped Risc-V version.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 minutes ago

    Just use Libre office. If you are doing anything bigger than that start a SQL server instead

    I've switched to Debian GNU/Linux, because I figured out it's easier to manage than modern Windows anyways.

    I've ended up taking notes on personal MediaWiki instance on various Unix/GNU commands, and various other stuff.

    Also ended up finding 7 bugs (for now) mostly in APT/Aptitude and their documentation (didn't report them yet).

    Don't mind me, I am just a self-diagnosed autist (lmao).

    Don't be elitist. You were a noob once, and someone helped you along the way.

    The more people who leave corporate platforms, the better. Punch up, not down.

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 2 hours ago

    someone helped you

    New to the FOSS community, eh? πŸ˜‰

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 2 hours ago

    The meme is poking fun at elitism.

    Last sentence shows you're the real hero.

    What the hell kind of setup are you working with that doesn't have touch?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 49 minutes ago* (last edited 49 minutes ago)

    Probably not Version 7 Unix or anything more modern (ref).

    Excel is basically a bunch of CLIs.

    :'(

    Also GIMP skills, not to be mistaken with gimp skills (tho there is some overlap in users).

    That's a pretty sweet sword I hope it doesn't need to see any action

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago

    Don't worry, much like the person wielding it, it will never see any action.

    How about you sudo apt install deodorant and maybe a life :3

    [–] [email protected] 40 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

    I know this is a joke but I genuinely get annoyed by people who seriously believe this.

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

    Add it to steam as a non-Steam game and turn on proton for it

    [–] [email protected] 30 points 7 hours ago

    Vim or wine. Depends on what you call "open".

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours ago

    Install Bottles.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

    True story... Loaded Linux on my machine to learn. Dual boot wouldn't recognize Windows despite many efforts. Then Linux cinnamon crashed and i had to nuke the whole thing. Still won't deter me.

    That’s the joke.

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 5 hours ago

    Yeah, okay. I just installed the free upgrade to 11, which took maybe 9 minutes.

    If I had an old computer that wasn't compatible, I'd just install Linux. It's so easy even an idiot could do it.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

    Well of course, you're the eXpErT!

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

    Can you draw 7 red lines strictly perpendicular some with blue ink and some with green ink, or not?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)
    [–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

    Let's not rush into any hasty answers. The task has been set and needs to be carried out.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

    I don't have green ink, will red rink suffice?

    How's this?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

    Mhm....

    why are some lines not red? The task was 7 red lines strictly perpendicular in the form of kittens. Some with blue ink some with green ink.

    After years of suffering under Microsoft's bugs, you're ready to have your own bugs no one can help you with.
