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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    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.

    In all seriousness it's very exciting, I just don't need to see the same information worded 20 different ways from random clickbait sites lol

    Dont you get it? Every year is the year of linux.

    [–] menzel@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

    The year of the Linux desktop is long ago, but this year definitely will be the year of Linux mobile

    The combined number of years of my marriage and the ages of all of my children is a number that when subtracted from 2024 would not equal the first time I heard this.

    Contrary to the idea that most of these new users come from steam decks, I've had 3 of my friends switch to or at least partially use linux. We are certainly growing.

    Microsoft has made their os so annoying and I loath when their updates revert settings that took me an hour to find in the first place. Or worse, remove the settings and features I liked to shove some more bs ads and data harvesting down my throat.

    So yeah, I'm planning on downloading Linux mint to a flash drive and giving it a try on one of my laptops this month.

    A windows update broke my computer. My system image I made using Windows couldn't restore. I have zero faith in windows. The culprit was something like an update that fucked driver signatures.

    i'll switch 100% to linux when Logitech supports my steering wheel.

    [–] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Which one? The G27/G920/G29 and some others are supported pretty much out of the box.

    Not thanks to Logitech but they do work fine.

    [–] jaschen@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    G928 and the pedals and shifter

    [–] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    Do you mean the G923? Can't find a G928 anywhere. The G923 is supported since kernel 6.3.

    While I love the meme, Linux is doing pretty good recently

    [–] partizan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago
