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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Queue any discussion of Wayland/Xorg, Systemd, flatpacks, snaps, distro choice, ~~Pipewire/Pulseaudio~~ (last one is easy, Pipewire ftw), Vim/Emacs, GPL/MIT, immutability, etc..

    [–] Seraph@kbin.social 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Cue* in this case. English sucks.

    [–] Urist@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

    Thanks. Wrote cue first, but changed it because I got confused.

    [–] Geert@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Hah yeah it's crazy. Anyway, zsh or death.

    Fish is obviously superior (:

    It's POSIX shell or nothing

    C++ mfs: Nvim <=> Emacs

    [–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

    Unless you're good at Emacs

    [–] Urist@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    How does Emacs in evil mode fit?

    [–] h_a_r_u_k_i@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

    Nvim < Emacs + Vim keybindings (aka evil).

    Apt is the superior package manager. Everyone else is wrong.

    Lol

    [–] XCraftMC@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

    but does your package manager show a video game animation when you download a package? (pacman for life)

    [–] mrchampion@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    Pacman + yay is superior. pacman for most packages, and yay to use the AUR, where you can get pretty much anything that can be downloaded online, but as a package so that you can more easily manage what shit you've downloaded before but no longer need.

    [–] jack@monero.town 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    Until the package adding and removing entropy lits your whole system on fire and you have to untangle dependencies, purge keyring, flush your system and reinstall

    [–] mrchampion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Luckily that hasn't happened to me yet, though I'd say pacman is still far better than something like apt, even if you have to untangle dependencies.

    [–] owatnext@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Have you tried out our lord and saviour xbps?

    [–] FederatedSaint@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    I think I only recognized like 5 words in that entire paragraph.

    [–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Wayland and Xorg are responsible for display, Systemd is an init system, flatpaks and snaps are containerized, cross-distro packaging formats, you know what a distro is, Pipewire and Pulseaudio are responsible for audio, Vim and Emacs are editors, GPL and MIT are open-source code licenses, I can't explain immutability.

    [–] MonkeMischief 4 points 1 year ago

    Vim and emacs are editors

    Woah woah we're talking newbies here. Nano will serve you just fine until you wanna get fancy lol. (Although sometimes it needs to be installed first)

    [–] jack@monero.town 3 points 1 year ago

    Go watch some Brodie Robertson and Distrotube

    [–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

    Y'know how they say its only the tip of the iceberg? Yeah this iceburg is probably larger than the entire planet

    [–] steventhedev@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

    Since when is immutability controversial? Linus called out the Google patches as badly designed with massive code quality issues for good reason. Theo described OpenBSDs approach to it and it is truly a simply concept with good security ramifications.
