dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

WOAH I love the hexbear Linux evangelist gang holy shit, thanks! I installed pop on an old laptop once to get it running again but that's been years at this point. This is super helpful!

Pop! Is Debian based I believe, so anything related to Ubuntu/Debian/Mint will be basically the same. Once you start getting into Fedora, Nix, and Arch is where you get different experiences with package managers.

You can also mess with shell stuff by installing different shells (nu, xonsh, fish, and zsh are the big ones) those don't require a distro change either, they're available as packages and you can change your user shell with the chsh command, or just run them and do what you want before dipping out to bash/dash
