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.

    Gimp = green is my pepper

    As a linux user myself, this is kind of cringe to be honest.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 55 minutes ago

    I use both, and I understand the whole TPM thing and why they're requiring it...

    I think this is very cringe.

    Linux has its uses, and benefits. But I see a lot of Windows stuff through my work.

    This isn't the original image and that sword doesn't really look like it goes with that scabbard. Did someone recreate/enhance the image with AI?

    The original:

    I look like that and say that

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

    β€œβ€¦you have the audacity to come to me for help?

    Sure! Linux isn’t nearly as difficult to use as people think. There’s a learning curve since Linux does things differently than Windows, but you’d face that if you switched to Mac, too. Here’s a USB disk with [insert user-friendly distro here] loaded on it. If you can make your computer boot with it you have all the skills necessary to install Linux. You can test-drive it from the USB and if it’s just too different from what you’re used to, it won’t have made any changes. Have fun!”

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

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 4 hours ago

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

    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] 23 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

    someone helped you

    New to the FOSS community, eh? πŸ˜‰

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago

    Sometimes you just need to be told to β€œread the manual”

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

    Been here since Fedora Core 5.

    Yhe FOSS community is awesome, if you hang out on the right IRCs.

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    The meme is poking fun at elitism.

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

    Ah, ok. I'm a bit neurodivergent, so I sometimes miss the tone of memes.

    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 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

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

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

    I think it can be assumed that of a machine has sudo, it also has touch.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

    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).

    Excel is basically a bunch of CLIs.

    :'(

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

    [–] [email protected] 45 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

    the whole 3 or 4 of them?

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

    Why why would I have apt installed on gentoo

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago

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

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

    I used to like edge. It was a much better choice over chrome and IE.

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

    Yea back when windows 10 was just peeking out it seemed great

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

    Isn't edge just IE ported to Chromium?

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

    [–] [email protected] 31 points 11 hours ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

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