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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, 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 remove France.

    Damn I really can't argue with that. The developer is a prick

    [–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

    Can someone seriously type with their penis? Impressive!

    [–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

    When you watch it's really not that impressive.

    Apparently it's Athena Linux. At least, that's what the hackable vacuums use.

    I have some RedHat CDs from the late 1990s (probably collectible at this point). I remember having a great deal of difficulty mounting my particular cd rom to even install it. I never got a driver for my video card at the time to work, so the "graphics" were awful (640x480 text only, iirc).

    Anyway, few experiences will be more frustrating than trying to use them. I think it should be mandatory for aspiring computer people to play with them, so they can appreciate how far we have come.

    Our roborock robot vacuum runs Ubuntu (I'm not joking)

    [–] frezik@midwest.social 20 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

    Windows running WSL running a VM running Debian 2.2.

    Similar to a joke my dad told in the 90's

    If Microsoft ever makes a product that doesn't suck, it'll be a vacuum cleaner.

    ... My vacuum actually does run Linux.

    !It's a roborock with Valetudo installed so it doesn't need internet access!<

    [–] TrenchcoatFullofBats@belfry.rip 10 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

    There are dozens of us! Mine is a Dreame D9 with a custom GLaDOS voice pack that I can change by updating a CVS file.

    [–] justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 9 hours ago

    And suddenly I need a vacuum robot!

    [–] droans@midwest.social 3 points 8 hours ago

    Also got GLaDOS on my Z10 Pro!

    Love Valetudo - it integrates so well with HA and is entirely local.

    the one you, the reader, uses

    [–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 19 points 11 hours ago

    Now this turned meta-referencial really quick.

    [–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 hours ago

    Not Linux, but VMS is specifically designed to run on VAX systems.

    Oracle linux, just tell them your carpet has an unlicensed database.

    [–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 55 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

    I was invited to a user group where oracle Linux was trying to get more adopters. The coolest thing they had was the ability to update a kernel driver while it was running. In place. Without downtime.

    I asked them if they planned on pushing this improvement to the kernel devs and they just gave me a blank face.

    Told me everything I needed to know about Oracle Linux. I promptly formatted the thumb drive they gave me for free.

    [–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 hours ago

    If they released it for free then Ubuntu wouldn't have Ubuntu Pro to sell subscriptions to.

    Manjaro might be good, but you'll have to adjust the vacuum's clock every time you want to clean

    [–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    You need Windows ME for that.

    [–] itsonlygeorge@reddthat.com 3 points 4 hours ago

    Vista also sucks pretty hard.

    [–] Gork@lemm.ee 80 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

    All of them except Hannah Montana Linux, which is the One True Linux.

    [–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 41 points 13 hours ago

    TempleOS is the one TRUE OS

    RHEL because the best Linux is the one you pay for.

    Installing on my fridge. Which one is the coolest?

    [–] CarbonBasedNPU@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

    Void has a really badass name.

    [–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 12 points 11 hours ago

    Hannah Montana Linux.

    [–] firegem@lemm.ee 40 points 14 hours ago

    I'd say Manjaro but they'd probably DDOS your vacuum on accident.
