Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I feel out of the loop, what's Slackware?

    [–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 66 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    The oldest Linux distro that's still maintained to this day.
    With an extreme focus on the KISS principle (simplicity in design) and stability.
    It basically still works the same way it did 30 years ago.

    With fewer floppy disks though.

    [–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

    The repos are still divided into Disksets, though.

    The linux distro you want to have on a usb stick if the apocalypse breaks out.

    is it more stable than debian?

    [–] interloper@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

    No, unless stability is very little change.

    [–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    This is what Debian's Stable name means: that, once released, the operating system remains relatively unchanging over time.

    One of the original Linux distributions. It was created in like 93 or 94.
