1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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
sudoin 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.

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 remove France.

Just use Windows, it has WSL
That Justin Bieber Linux?
(The opposite of Hannah Montana Linux ofc)
There was a Windows tablet I bought for PDFs only. It ran some terrible Windows 8 lite version. That would easily be the worst Linux distro.
Windows RT. What a pile.
wubuntu
Finally a chance for me to install Arch on something!
The worst i have used was fedora lxqt. A really disappointing experience. Not entirely unusable, but a big downgrade, even compared to things like Antix. It is incredibly slow, looks ugly, has like 1000 packages at most, that doesn't contain more than the most basic and well known software. When i try to install anything else than dnf as package manager, it will not work, or just break. For someone who wants Linux for experimenting, it is highly advised against
Isn't that just a spin of fedora with a different DE? Should work exactly like any other fedora system, besides the de of course.
The one that's put out when Elon buys the Linux Foundation.
macOS
Alternatively: WSL
MacOS is Unix though, not Linux.
(it's the only non-mainframe OS that's officially Unix certified)

Does windows for linux count?
If not, maybe azure linux
Maybe ubuntu since its recommended by microsoft
I have some RedHat CDs from the late 1990s (probably collectible at this point). I remember having a great deal of difficulty mounting my particular cd rom to even install it. I never got a driver for my video card at the time to work, so the "graphics" were awful (640x480 text only, iirc).
Anyway, few experiences will be more frustrating than trying to use them. I think it should be mandatory for aspiring computer people to play with them, so they can appreciate how far we have come.
