Newbies hating on Flatpak, Wayland, PipeWire, SystemD, and other new stuff that actually works unlike their predecessors because they were told by some racist boomer Linux YouTuber to hate those

What makes linux cool is that there are alternatives for literally anything. The fact that there is a constant debate going and people using all sorts of implementations just means that less of the system becomes a black box and more people are actually looking at and eventually working on the code. This keeps the system alive, and means it hasn't ended up with some rotten filesystem like NTFS or a shitty Registry configuration system like windows.

The most popular distro on distrowatch is MX Linux which uses initV but has ability to run systemd services - but however, initV became 10x faster and more usable because of rewrites that were sparked by the systemd debate.

This is literally pure nerd rage energy being turned into amazing code, and it's beautiful.

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!
