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 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 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.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    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 remove France.

    judging from the expression they just got to the vim section

    [–] addie@feddit.uk 33 points 3 days ago

    Building Vim from source is pretty damn easy. cd vim && make && sudo make install. Just need to be careful not to run it by accident, or you'll be restarting Linux From Scratch from scratch.

    Thats a sysadmin expression for sure. He has a glorious future ahead of him, and many sleepness nights.

    Yeah they got to the section on Nvidia drivers.

    I'm a big fan of the "For Babies" series. Picked up Evolution, Quantum Mechanics and Organic Chemistry for my daughter.

    Don't be afraid: Debian will make you cozy and warm.

    [–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

    Debian? Did you see the title of that book? "Linux from Scratch". Clearly its a Gentoo guide book.

    [–] hellmo_luciferrari@lemmy.zip 23 points 3 days ago

    Clearly it's an LFS guide book... LFS isn't Gentoo.

    [–] Lembot_0004@discuss.online 4 points 3 days ago

    Clearly, it all comes to Debian.

    [–] p3n@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

    If you like this book, you should also check out: "The cat in Redhat" and "ripgrep and PAM".

    Babies first Distro.

    And when 2 repositories love each other very much…

    They fall out over a minor implementation detail and get forked.

    [–] overload@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

    Marital breakups always end with someone getting forked.

    I'd like a Romeo & Juliet story where one house uses VI and the other Emacs.

    Modern psychiatry doesn't have the answer yet.

    We're only in the second week, so there's not much I've learned yet, but I'm taking a Linux class (for cybersec, so we're using Kali VMs), and I'm honestly excited. I already know some basics due to using Fedora as my daily driver, but I never took the time to properly learn Linux, so this class will help me to be power user and maybe fix my own shit more (Or at least troubleshoot better).

    We did open vi for a short bit and yes, we did not know how to exit πŸ˜…

    🎢You first extract GCC from the sources directory🎢

    [–] M137@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

    This is me, both the dad and the baby. Sometimes either, sometimes both at the same time. And almost never knowing beforehand which I'll end up as at the end.

    Linux from Scratch?...

    I'll just be here with my cozy mint πŸ˜
