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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 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.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    • Β 

    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 remove France.

    What if Linux is just a roguelike

    [–] itsJoelle@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

    When I was first starting out it felt like that. Granted, when I first used Linux it was in 2011.

    I returned to Linux three years ago, and I only fucked up royally twice. Granted, I didn’t know how to fix what I did at the time (I removed my only account from sudoers).

    I managed to ruin Debian stable my first go in 2015. Don't ask how. I still don't know

    Every time you boot up there would be a brand new file system you'd have to learn until bricked your device.

    [–] Johanno@feddit.org 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Ah I see you are talking about nixos.

    The dark souls of operating systems.

    You can configure everything. But everything can turn into a tedious process of figuring out dependencies and how a program works.

    The dark souls of operating systems.

    I beg to differ

    [–] noodles@sh.itjust.works 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)

    Or just try nixos and don't be afraid of breaking things ever again

    [–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 4 points 7 months ago

    that's the Linux endgame fr πŸ₯Άβ„️❄️

    [–] SchrodingersPat@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

    nixOS links cool I just struggle wrapping my head around having everything in a single config or however they do it

    [–] DarkPassenger@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Just did this with my main laptop. Was running mint with zero issues and yesterday decided to wipe it and install endeavor

    [–] SchrodingersPat@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

    A bad influence I see. But in all seriousness that's awesome. I liked arch a lot when I was using it.

    Everything runs perfectly but I can't play DCS or get my joystick to work, the call is calling

    [–] unknown1234_5@kbin.earth 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    might I suggest a VM or a cheap spare device?

    [–] SchrodingersPat@lemmy.ml 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    I need you to know you are not wrong. But also a part of me wants to live one foot off the merry go round. EVEN THOUGH I absolutely know I shouldn't.

    [–] unknown1234_5@kbin.earth 5 points 7 months ago

    in that case I suggest keeping general files (as in not apps, except for stuff like a steam library) on a separate drive or partition from root, that's more or less what I was doing when I was distro hopping
