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 get what you mean, but the way you worded it makes it seem like you experienced dependency hell for 20 out of 25 years...

    [–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 13 points 7 months ago

    Dependency hell happens when you try to go against your distro and install something. Someone who used Linux for 20 years probably found a distro that works well for them, hence the no dependency hell.

    Or they just stopped tinkering. Either case is solvable by Nix/Flatpak/Bedrock/20+ other solutions

    Yeah, could have worded that better. I've had some dependancy issues here and there over the years, especially in the early days (20+ years ago) but since like 5 years or so I haven't seen anything
