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.

    Number one argument to not use Linux

    [–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

    I think you are probably right in a way... Remember how android started as a weird Linux kernel (supposedly, rumors ran around at the time)? But today android is a piece of shit that everyone is enslaved on, and Linux still rules. That's because you can't be a dumbass windows user and just become a Linux user overnight. Well I guess it takes like 5 minutes to install, but you might end up frustrated staring at a screen. There's lots to learn before you can get comfortable. Else android....or like me, Ubuntu. Sorry to Linux, but Ubuntu is where I gave up trying to recompile X for the 200th time.
