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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    sadly its more than that friend: https://github.com/gp187/Ubuntu-Privacy-Fix/blob/master/ubuntu_secure.sh

    encourage canonical to do better ; we deserve it.

    I have to ask, when was the last time you even looked at a screenshot of Ubuntu? That script is from the Unity era. The first lines remove a shopping lense. Not a thing since 2016. And even if it was still somehow valid which it's not, it's mostly hardening the OS. Yes, stock Ubuntu is not an impenetrable fortress. No distro is.

    Also the stupid script removes a local logging service which is not used anymore either, but here's a thread about it https://askubuntu.com/questions/180990/what-is-zeitgeist-used-for

    ok but all the other telemetry in the script is still there

    nice meme lol

    ill watch the video on invidious later

    its a good thing if im wrong about ubuntu, but im more than a little skeptical

    Shouldn't it be debian doing all the heavy lifting?

    (He da one trainin' man 'buntu.)

    Right lol totally backwards, spotting is easy

    [–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

    Yes and no. Would make sense in os point of view, but not in the gym spotting sense

    [–] tdawg@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (5 children)

    Isn't basically all server space some Ubuntu variant?

    [–] shalafi@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

    Downvotes like this is why I'm hating lemmy. OP asks an honest question:

    Nerds: FUCK YOU!

    Yes, the majority of servers are Linux, and yes, most are Debian, of which Ubuntu is a variant.

    [–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

    I would consider downvotes one way of saying no without needing to go through a bunch of effort typing out a reply that will recieve the equivalent upvotes.

    [–] leisesprecher@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    I wouldn't say that.

    RHEL/Centos/Alma and their derivates are very popular in enterprise contexts. Unless you count docker images based on Debian, I've literally never seen a non-RPM based distro being used by the companies I worked for.

    Redhat isn't worth billions without a reason.

    I've run across Ubuntu in the wild once and I don't work in tech - I was in Target and one of the self checkout machines was Ubuntu having a kernel panic.

    [–] leisesprecher@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

    I didn't say Ubuntu isn't used, but it's by far not as clear cut as the previous comment made it look.

    [–] tdawg@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

    What a mood. People wonder why the Linux community didn't hit mainstream years ago

    Thanks for giving a reasonable response

    Thank you for your witty and concise answer!

    [–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 11 points 2 days ago

    I would sure hope not

    [–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

    Until late 2023 the hoster of one of our customers used Gentoo on its web and DB servers. I was surprised when i found out. They switched everything to docker later and i have no idea what it is now.

    no bc of shirt colours.
