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 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
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 fork-bomb your computer.

Artix for desktop, Alpine for servers.
Now you made me look up Artix. Which is 81 in the top 100 in Distrowatch. Oh, it's a fork of Manjaro/Arch. I liked Manjaro on my ARM Laptop. Most software I use is easier to install from .deb or .rpm though so I tend to stick to Debian-based. https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20210308#artix
Artix is a fork of Arch that uses different initialization systems such as Open-RC instead of SystemD. Artix exists because people believe that SystemD is bloated, which it arguably is. And that SystemD doesn't respect the Unix philosophy.
Yeah, I grew up with SystemV init in AT&T System V in the 80s and variants. The needed to learn systemd which I now understand.
