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.

    Whoever wrote that error message doesn't know how to spell separate.

    More people ought to enable a spell checker in their code editor...

    I'm just trying to figure out why, if you'd programmed it to detect /boot wasn't mounted properly, instead of having it error out, you'd have it do the install anyway and then snarkily print "hey, jsyk, that thing I just did probably led to system corruption. Hope you're reading this log and/or feel like spending five hours debugging a nonbootable system! Have fuuuun!"

    Like why would you do that

    The dev spent 1,000,000 hours making the entire codebase their second language and knows it like the back of their hand, why can't you?
