  • 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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.

    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.

    Manjaro: the one who never does their homework but still gets a pass.

    [–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 hours ago

    Poor OpenSuse. The exchange student. Pivotal to the group project. Everybody loves them when their arpund but no one mentions them

    Sorry about your mom btw

    [–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 4 points 12 hours ago

    manjaro also frequently steps on his own glasses and can't see without them.

    alpine should have some minimalist edc stuff but nothing fancy and doesn't do anything else that stands out

    [–] Neptr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 70 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (2 children)

    Alpine is minimal. That kid would show up in one piece pajamas because it serves the job of pants, shirt, underwear, and sweater+hood (if it comes with a hood).

    [–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

    Meme needs to be revised to this

    don't forget their lunchbox (BusyBox)

    It better be a batman lunchbox.

    NixOS is missing cause they graduated early 😎

    [–] harsh3466@lemmy.ml 4 points 13 hours ago

    NixOs is the one in the corner playing with their imaginary friends.

    [–] kautau@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

    lol NixOS shows up every day with their younger sibling that is somehow smarter than them but yesterday they were the younger sibling

    Bazzite: Sweaty gamer in their mom’s basement. Goes a minimum of 2 days without showering. Talks like they know stuff, but really they parrot what they read on internet forums. Could change their whole life if they wanted to, but they refuse.

    [–] Focal@pawb.social 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

    Is nobara more or less unhinged than Bazzite?

    [–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 minutes ago

    Never used it. Can’t say.

    [–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 18 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

    Apparently there are no women in Linuxville?

    Give the arch and gentoo users a couple months 🀣

    [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 26 points 20 hours ago

    Nah Fedora's a girl, sorry that's how you find out your mom is gay

    [–] surrealpartisan@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

    Even though I find it likely that you detected an actual bias in the design of the meme, I don't see any explicit indications of Manjaro's, Fedora's or Alpine's genders.

    Slackware: Just sits there quietly and tries to blend in, but wears a plaid 3-piece-suit and smokes a pipe.

    [–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 6 points 17 hours ago

    Slackware is the ancient teacher still using chalk and a blackboard threatening to beat misbehaving kids.

    [–] bw42@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

    I think Slackware would be more:

    Sits in the back of the room quietly working, well wearing a three piece plaid suit and smoking a pipe. Depending on the day the pipe may contain tobacco, marijuana, and/or mushrooms. Still uses a slide ruler because its stable tech.

    Mint is probably the first years' teacher who still hasn't burned out

    [–] kingofthezyx@lemmy.zip 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

    Mint - nice and polite kid, doesn't smell bad

    [–] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

    Always offering gum and tic taks to everyone.

    [–] kingofthezyx@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 hours ago

    Takes the new kids under their wing.

    Bazzite: The kid with rich parents who has built three gaming PCs in the past year, just to keep his hardware up-to-date… But he only uses them to emulate games that are at least 10 years old. He also thinks RAID is a backup. He happily parrots whatever last week’s tech blogger was posting about, but he gets some big parts of it wrong because he only read the AI generated summaries.

    I feel the word reliable is missing for Debian.

    [–] Kjell@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

    Debian - A little boring and outdated, but friendly and reliable. Everyone likes him.

    Like this?

    [–] Strider@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

    Friendly, trustworthy and reliable! 😁

    Ubuntu is the tinfoil hat guy who believes weird stuff but people still follow her because she is loud

    [–] PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social 2 points 10 hours ago

    Ubuntu is the annoying self-diagnosed kid that demands the whole class be run to his bizarre standards to the detriment of all the other students.

    [–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

    I was thinking Ubuntu is the one who follows people around and steps on the heels of their shoes while they walk, but has loads of "friends" because they have money.

    I use arch but don't want people to talk to me

    [–] sudoMakeUser@sh.itjust.works 8 points 21 hours ago

    Ubuntu is always trying to sell you stuff by forcing it into random unrelated conversations

    I'm a Fedora user, what does that say about me?

    [–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 15 points 20 hours ago

    You fucked OP's mom.

    Loving family, lots of friends, wealthy, intelligent, very cute pets.

    [–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

    Fedora and Alpine have no chill lol

    [–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

    Fedora has new parents that are rich, but nobody likes because they're antisocial.

    [–] tio_bira@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

    Debian

    everyone likes him

    Press X for Highly Doubt

    Really? What do people have against Debian?

    [–] wltr@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

    Obsolete. No WiFi drivers ever. (Might be false by now.) Always breaks during major upgrades (that’s only my experience, so I could be wrong here too). But hey, it’s obsolete!

    Don’t break Debian, they say.

    [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

    Up to my newest laptop (which is over 4yo now), debian always had working wifi drivers from the live distro.

    For a real "no wifi drivers ever", try SliTaz. It doesn't have working drivers even on my 2012 asus laptop

    [–] wltr@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

    I’ve been with Debian through 2000s and 2010s, and if you’re someone not knowing this foss vs proprietary thing, it’s quite difficult to explain why there’s no WiFi drivers and that you need to do some complex hoops to get this working. I had no WiFi on most laptops I interacted with, all the time.

    However, fair to say that just this week I had a Fedora installation for a friend’s MacBook from 2009, and we faced no WiFi thing either. Had to install Broadcom drivers separately. So, I myself understand why there’s no drivers included, but it’s not what’s easy to explain this to someone migrating off Windows. Otherwise Debian is good, but I use it only for single board computers.

    Packaging system has faulty validation.
