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!

    That’s only the 19 with facts and photos. Think of all the other mysterious penguins.

    Are you implying the rest only use the Terminal?

    [–] Asudox@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

    god forbid the usage of the terminal for newbies lest thee shall fall into this rabbit hole.

    You can go to https://distrowatch.com/ , but some are so abandoned, their status is unknown. Schrödingers distro: You have to try and install it to find out whether it's still a thing.

    now i want to fork something into a new distro called "Schroedinger Linux"...

    "maybe it works. maybe it doesn't. maybe it's best just to leave it right there and not look at it."

    The boot function should have some kind of randomization in it, so it only boots about 50% of the time. Either that, or include a random string in every download of the iso, so that only half of the downloads work.

    Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Green Ubuntu, Legacy Ubuntu, ... Shit, I'm out.

    Does this statistic account for Hannah Montana Linux?

    [–] Botzo@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

    RTFM.

    I think that's an appropriate response...

    Did you make the art in your post yourself? It looks cool

    [–] Gamers_Mate@kbin.run 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

    Yeah Except for the OS logos that I used for the windows and the bed and the logos on the poster. The poster is is also based on the abbey road photo.

    Btw, is Alpine still maintained? I want to finally set up my server but in the last (old) image the installer is broken.

    [–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 4 months ago

    Alpine Linux? Hells yes. Actively. Super small. Does its job extremely well.
