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

  • 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.

    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.

    It's insanity. I had to upgrade my work laptop to windows 11 this week.

    IT didn't do their research and turns out our main software isn't compatible with windows 11 at all. So i had to downgrade back to windows 10. When i did, photos don't work and the microsoft store wont open.

    Windows is such a horrible system, i have no idea why they made it so poorly. I could have installed any distro of linux and had it working well in less than 20 minutes. Upgrading to windows 11 took almost 2 hours and it still didn't work.

    Now IT has to scramble to find a solution before the 14th and we lose all security updates, which they are very concerned about. What a nightmare to be in IT.

    It’s always a nightmare being in IT lol

    Nobody ever calls to say, β€œHey! Just wanted to let you know that my email is working great, keep up the good work!”

    We only hear from people when shit is broken.

    Being in a windows shop only makes it 100x more difficult and expensive.

    Well, true, one of the slowest packaging systems in Linux world is still faster than Windows Update.

    I'm on arch so its the highlight of every morning 🀣

    Fedora does this too, it reboots to install updates...

    [–] Wilmo@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

    Gnome Software does this with offline upgrades. It's optional. Doing sudo dnf upgrade is the same as sudo apt update && upgrade. No reboot. Obviously you should reboot for kernels and certain hooks but otherwise yeah. You can disable gnome software automatic downloads etc

    "I use arch ... btw", also btw

    For APT enjoyers, alias yay="sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade"

    Also, alias nay="yay -Rns"

    Or yeet if you prefer, for the yay/nay or yay/yeet pair.

    Thank you for this, I love it. We use Ubuntu at work and I am quite tempted to covertly add yay as an alias.

    sudo nix-channel --update

    Enough of these dumb memes already. Do we really so desperately need to boost our self esteem that fucking much? Yes Linux has it's cool benefits over Windows. We fucking know.

    I agree. Enough with these simple memes - we need full-on propaganda!

    You know what my OS doesn't do? Yeah, exactly. That's the better question now.

    PS I love you
