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.
  • 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.

    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.

    On a more serious note, how does updating apps on gentoo work? I understand that everything is built on your system, but then if the app is updated, do you need to re-compile every time?

    They're on the good drugs.

    You come at me with that microkernel tiny-ass bullshit, and expect me not to stomp my Linux-RT kernel down your ass? Man, your ass be dragging. That's an ass full of ass you're talking there, and if you get your ass down here right now we can fight it out in the parking lot where I will hand your ass to you, and you can hand me mine, and then we'll go bowling or something.

    How many unix like operating systems are there? I thought it was just BSD and Linux. Then I heard about Plan 9. Now this. Next thing you know someone is going to find an operating system that is meant to run oil pumps or something and is going to install doom on it.

    [–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    Well, I could be wrong, but I think Unix (IRIX, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Xenix, etc.) might also be Unix-like.

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

    Ah true. I guess there are quite a few industry specific ones.

    [–] boonhet@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    MacOS is Unix like, but that's because the kernel (Darwin) descends from BSD.

    [–] CarbonBasedNPU@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    MacOS is Unix certified I'm pretty sure.

    [–] boonhet@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

    Yes - unlike any Linux distros I know of. But that's fine, we don't need Linux to be Unix certified for it to be awesome.

    Imma let you finish, but BeOS is the best microkernel operating system of all time! OF ALL TIME!!!

    You feeling better now that it's out there?

    [–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

    Was it better back then? I'm working with QNX these days and the hardware integration is a fucking mess
