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.
  • 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.
  • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • 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.
  •

    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.

    Kinda a rant, but most forks are in no way reputable. Fork systemd as much as you want, fork everything as much as you want, good luck keeping up with the changes and actually being as reliable.

    1. X spin applies for any distro providing spins, like Debian, void, arch install, etc

    Are we going to acknowledge the irony of ranting against forking to protect freedoms on a platform formed as an alternative to protect freedoms?

    Its literally a bash script. Dont know how hard that is to maintain at that scale but my guess is not that hard for now

    Ageless Linux is important because they're doing activism. They say they want to distribute devices made to not follow Californian law for free to kids. That's why it's important, not just because it's a distro. As a distro is near to useless.

    I know this is mostly a meme, but I think it's important to clarify this.

    I'm still running the last release of Hannah Montana Linux. Just waiting for something better to come out.

    You can buy yourself flowers, write your name in the sand, talk to yourself for hours, say things we don't understand, you can take yourself dancing and you can hold your own hand...

    But you can't roll your own linux distro?

    But you can’t roll your own linux distro?

    You can, but it wouldn't be better than Hannah Montana Linux.

    Man, when it first released it came in like a wrecking ball.

    “The world doesn’t revolve around California”

    True, but OS level age verification is a politically conservative talking point. It was pushed by Meta.

    Age verification is the responsibility of the PROVIDER (the one who needs to age check) and not on the OS level.

    There seems to be a sharp divide between people who hold opposing views, and the right wing is largely behind OS level user identification. Today it’s birth date, tomorrow it’s birth gender.

    None of this belongs at the OS level
