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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

    Is it actually sucky? I think I installed that once, but I didn't use that laptop much.

    [–] hisold@lemmings.world 5 points 5 days ago

    Guys we forgot to automatically update the let's encrypt certificate of our repos. In the mean time, just set the date on your machine to last week.

    I want to install Linux on a Vacuum cleaner, which sucks the most?

    Nix-OS. Nix translates to "nichts" in german, which translates to "nothing" in english. A vacuum creates sucktion force.

    Also I get endless error messages sometimes, when I run nixos rebuild switch --upgrade, that sucks in a metaphorical sense, I need to modify the versions of programs I install.

    NixOS does suck me into the occasional rabbit hole - nothing like Gentoo years ago though!

    Ironically it's probably Suckless.

    [–] ccdfa@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Is suckless a distro? I thought it was just a collection of software

    [–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    What is a distro but a collection of software?

    [–] ccdfa@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

    Distros probably have a kernel though

    The one that's put out when Elon buys the Linux Foundation.

    Oracle linux, just tell them your carpet has an unlicensed database.

    [–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 86 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    I was invited to a user group where oracle Linux was trying to get more adopters. The coolest thing they had was the ability to update a kernel driver while it was running. In place. Without downtime.

    I asked them if they planned on pushing this improvement to the kernel devs and they just gave me a blank face.

    Told me everything I needed to know about Oracle Linux. I promptly formatted the thumb drive they gave me for free.

    If they released it for free then Ubuntu wouldn't have Ubuntu Pro to sell subscriptions to.

    They want to clean the carpet, not lose the house.

    Whoa, whoa, there are people who don't like Windows? I thought Windows was like the king of operating systems?

    All of them except Hannah Montana Linux, which is the One True Linux.

    [–] Tiempo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

    Hannah Montana Linux is the past, RebeccaBlackOS is the future!!

    [–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 47 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    TempleOS is the one TRUE OS

    Similar to a joke my dad told in the 90's

    If Microsoft ever makes a product that doesn't suck, it'll be a vacuum cleaner.

    Apparently it's Athena Linux. At least, that's what the hackable vacuums use.

    It'll randomly doze off whenever you don't look at it for 5 seconds, tho.

    Damn I really can't argue with that. The developer is a prick

    Installing on my fridge. Which one is the coolest?

    [–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 week ago

    Kali Linux. All the kids talk about it. All the kids want to be with it.

    I'd say Manjaro but they'd probably DDOS your vacuum on accident.

    [–] SpatchyIsOnline@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (3 children)

    ... My vacuum actually does run Linux.

    !It's a roborock with Valetudo installed so it doesn't need internet access!<
