Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Migrated redditors who are mad that the FOSS platform they're using attracts Linux users.

[–] greybeard@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Or people who don't want to see low effort meme content. There's a community specifically for that sort of thing and Linux. linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Lemmy.one doesn't allow downvoting though, so I didn't downvote it, but I sure as heck didn't upvote it.

Huh? I thought that it only applies to posts on your instance and not all the interactions that users of this instance can do. Am I wrong?

[–] greybeard@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Nope, as a Lemmy.One user, I cannot downvote anywhere. It's probably my only complaint with Lemmy.One, actually. I'm not sure I would have downvoted this, but it is the type of thing I don't want to see.

No, looks like it's a global setting. If your instance doesn't allow it, you're not allowed to downvote anywhere.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Can a person outside of instance with disabled downvotes downvote stuff on that instance?

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, that's what I was trying to explain. If downvotes are disabled on your instance, you can't downvote anything anywhere on any instance.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm asking for the opposite, if your instance allows you to downvote stuff then can you downvote stuff that's on instances that don't allow them?

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, like beehaw. I can downvote stuff on beehaw, tried it just to see if I can.

But, I don't think they can see the downvotes.

Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise. No misinformation No NSFW content No hate speech, bigotry, etc

In my defence i did check the rules if Memes where allowed!

It's the wrong use of a meme template

It's a low effort meme in a general linux community

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

I use and love many flavors of Linux, but Windows and macOS are honestly cool too and I use all of them on a daily basis. It’s just cringey to me when people get all dumb and elitist about Linux.

[–] lckdscl@whiskers.bim.boats 1 points 1 year ago

I agree the post is cringe, my brain somehow just thought I'd make a dry slightly related remark (context below) and it ended up sounding a bit too serious.

The context was that I've seen quite a few angry/troll posts elsewhere on this instance recently complaining there are too many Linux communities on here, and I found this post to be the other extreme.
