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 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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    It’s, er, a variant of FreeBSD.

    As someone who gradually went from arch to Manjaro to Ubuntu because I kept breaking my installs or not having time, this resonates lol.

    Manjaro likes to break on its own during updates in my experience

    The Arch Dilemma. If you never update the system, it will never break. To update without breaking you have to carefully check every package update, but it's time consuming. So you either spend time productively on an outdated but working and stable system or you spend time carefully keeping up a bleeding edge updated system.

    ManjaDebEndevNix is my favorite

    XeroLinux. It's a nice, convenient Arch-based one with a good installer and helper app. Makes getting into Arch feel a lot more newbie-friendly. I disable the latte docker and crazier desktop effects though, I like mine more plain and fast.

    you guessed it, I use joborun, like arch without systemd, runit optionally s6/66

    I once was so enthusiastic about Fedora...

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    I settled on Fedora after distro hopping then the whole RHEL stuff happened and I'm so annoyed haha

    I'll probably stick with it for the time being, but I should probably have an exit strategy

    You're all beta testers for Rocky Linux.

    I use Ubuntu ... but I frequent the Arch forums.

    Hannah Montana Linux of course. Disney uses on their disney plus servers

    My first thought with this meme was chronic distrohopping. Do I tell them what I'm using this week? Or the last distro I used for any amount of time? Do I tell them the obscure distro name or the name of the major distro it's forked off of? If I'm dual booting do I tell them the experimental OS I'm daily driving or the reliable fallback I have on my other partition?

    Grateful we have passed the point at which this meme is relevant. Microsoft would never have imagined this 25 years ago.

    Whatever the Steam Deck runs.

    I like arch, but also use debian on computers I don't use often. Then I mess with the bsds on a few spare thinkpads.

    Say Debian and the type of person who asks this will immediately go “oh fuck. He’s a nerd…”

    Almalinux. I used to use centos on servers and fedora workstation on my desktops but have switched over to Almalinux for both. Will be interesting to see what shakes out with the whole Redhat source repo change.

    Ubuntu was unstable for me on my desktop every time I tried. I always disliked Ubuntu on servers.

    When people hear I'm using Linux they're always like "Must be some Ubuntu" (I actually use Endeavour)
