Community rules (click to expand)
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!

I thought they standardized on sd* even for IDE drive a few years back...
Yeah, that's what I think as well...
Got a few old rigs with IDE drives in them running Void x86, the drives in
/dev
are namedsdx
.I didn't know that. Maybe nvme hasn't been added to the standard yet then.
No, they decided that nvme were too fancy to be modeled by mundane 'sdxn' scheme. They hypothetically have 'namespaces' and 'controller paths' and they wanted to have the naming scheme model that fully.
