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.

    or traditional Fedora, which also has often unstable packages, dnf is often unusable

    My experience with dnf is that it's slow as molasses but your average computer user isn't gonna install 10 new CLI apps per day /j

    I've used Discover (dnf or flatpack backend) and you can install just about any software with 1 click. It takes a minute to install but that's fine.

    Zypper: hold my beer (it will be warm and flat by the time I'm done)

    Can't wait for Rypper, the drop-in Zypper replacement written in Rust

    My issue with dnf is the distro upgrade being completely broken.

    While on Fedora Atomic, Distro upgrades are just another rebase. It is so much simpler and just works.
