A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Because your father smelt of elderberries. I also fart in your general direction. Now tell us your favourite linux distro or I shall taunt you a second tieme. >:(

This also deserves a taunting.

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It's a Monty Python reference, but I also don't know why. So, do you have a favourite Linux distro or are you more of a BSD person?

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Ah :) The release of Windows 7 is actually what made me go full Linux back in the day.

Yes, I got a computer with Windows 7 and just said nope. I had been playing around with Ubuntu (which was the kind of new cool thing back then) and decided to switch fully.

If you're King Arthur, welcome my liege!
