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!

    Let's be honest, real nerds use Gentoo

    a good starter distro but ideally you should make your own from scratch so you know what's in it

    Honestly you're not a real one until you've written your own kernel entirely

    You guys would have deployed your own internet protocol if this conversation continued

    [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Writing your own internet protocol is a good idea but you shouldn't stop there. You need to run your own internet cables too to make sure it does what you want and isn't controlled by someone else.

    [–] sunflower_name@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    And develop your own plastic to cover the cables?

    And what are you going to cover with it if you haven’t even started mining your copper and inventing a machine to make your fiber optics.

    Wait, maybe we need to start with the electromagnetic spectrum in general.
