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.
  • ย 

    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.

    Imagine having Windows installed in 2024. /s

    Most people are tech illiterate. Ask them anything but to use a pre installed system or pop in a CD that was given to them (No they can't burn one themselves) and they'll fail

    No, that's ChromeOS. Windows still assumes some knowledge that you may take for granted, but someone who's never used a computer before might not know.

    Not gonna lie I have no fucking clue what ChromeOS is

    Not gonna lie I didn't know Chromebooks were a thing up until now, let alone ever assume they'd have their own OS.

    thank you

    I'm a little surprised considering their aggressive as campaigns, the fact they've existed for over 10 years and that their market share is higher than the mac's

    It's called not keeping up with technology in general since a decade แ••( แ› )แ•—

    Seriously when I tell people I'm tech illiterate I mean it. I can't tell ya what all the different devices mean and I got introduced to Linux because I once had to recover data from my broken Windows computer 5-6 years ago and my pal gave me a disk. That was Ubuntu of all things too!

    I'm basically an old grandma lmaoo

    Fair enough, I guess you're the first tech illiterate I meet on such a niche social media as Lemmy

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    I really only go where my friends drag me to. Same pal who introduced me to Linux, introduced me to Lemmy
