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.

    Honestly when it comes to Debian derivatives Devuan is the only one I would reccomend (still doesnt get in my top 5)

    [–] Twig@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    I've yet to try Devuan, but I quite like the fact antiX has a bunch of stuff setup, like the WM with Rox and a bunch of apps etc

    [–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    Devuan is like Debian but without SystemD and much lighter. Like Debian however you set it up yourself so feel free to use whatever WM you want (I personally like Sway).

    [–] Twig@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

    antiX doesn't use SystemD, so that works for me. A nice balance between lightweight and being lazy and not having to set it up from scratch, but it doesn't feel quite as janky as Puppy Linux.

    Imo when it comes to lightweight distros theres a reason why you set it up manually, when 100mb is the difference between a usable system it makes sense for the user to customize it to their needs.

    [–] Twig@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    I get that. It depends what you're after. I just wanted something that'd run on old hardware without too much effort.

    [–] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

    Debian is good for that, unless the system is a laptop with no RJ45 port and a wireless card which needs a non-free driver

    [–] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

    Why wouldn't you like systemD? It's easier to learn than most distributions

    I guess its commands are a bit long
