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

  • 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.

    If that's what installing Linux is like I don't want to know what installing Windows looks like.

    Also, in unrelated news, I'm now available for Linux installs..

    I don't want to know what installing Windows looks like.

    I'm pretty sure it involves slimy tentacles reaching into all your private areas/data.

    don't forget the part where they put on the chains and weights and throw people down the 11 windows to hell. actually windows was meant to prevent people from falling there, yet people still kept using it, that is why every once in a wile they add a extra window, specifically designed in ways which they think would prevent people from trying to use it, yet still many do somehow. btw

    They say it's a Gates'way to things, most unnatural...

    [–] CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    c-can you come over to m-me? Linux is my OS already, but I'll wipe the ssd just for y-you... >///<

    [–] not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

    yeah you well overdue for a clean install ;)

    [–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago

    The difference I think is mostly regarding consent. You’re getting fucked either way.

    [–] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

    don't worry all we're installing today is TempleOS...

    [–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 55 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I run Windows. Yeah, mm hmm,. Big Windows user over here and I have no idea what to do with this Linux thing or how to install it. When can you come over and install it for me? I'll get the wine. I hear wine and Linux leads to a lot of fun game play. Malbec ok?

    how do I permanently preserve someone else's comment?

    Best way to out yourself as a furry

    [–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    I never thought I'd use this ever again...

    [–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    This one goes over my head ngl

    [–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I'm not surprised, that picture is from 2009. It's a play on an old Mac TV ad campaign and a long-standing stereotype in the furry fandom of fox fursonas being... very promiscuous.

    [–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    That's... an interesting piece of lore lol

    [–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    One thing I forgot to mention is that there were tons of memes like this with Linux as the third as well (or other random stuff, of course), so this is kinda relevant on all fronts.

    [–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 2 points 1 month ago

    Oh yeah, I have seen some of those

    [–] Resol@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    Those Mac vs PC ads need to return.

    [–] Klnsfw@lemmynsfw.com 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    To be clear, you're on the right of the picture ? In this case, I guess you're installing Arch ?

    [–] ElfBean@fedia.io 26 points 1 month ago

    Wow, didn't need to call me out like that. But yes.

    [–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 19 points 1 month ago

    Damn, I've been installing it wrong all these years. I might need some help.

    Stop play stupid game. It stupid.

    [–] Klear@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    But what I want stupid prize?

    [–] figjam@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Can't know cause can't play!

    [–] far_university190@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

    my stupid game

    You sure?

    [–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

    I wish you installed linux on my machine way before I did in 2018.

    [–] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I am unironically waiting on a new cpu cooler before im set for my first Linux build....

    [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago

    Remember to use protection and make sure everyone consents. Your first time can be exciting, but you need to be safe too. Have fun!

    You're doing something wrong if this isn't part of your installation

    [–] JustADragon@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

    this is actually how I convinced someone to want to install Linux. had my install stuff with me, as well as my official arch Linux clothes(you all know what those are). once the person saw the cuteness, the person suddenly wanted Linux very bad.
