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.

    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.

    I've ran into so many problems with systemd, that I just avoid it now. You do one thing and expect that to reflect on whatever you think it should reflect on, and it doesn't. Why? Some systemd thing does this or that and it doesn't let the message through. Ah, but you have an exception list for that. OK, cool, add to exception list, still doesn't work πŸ˜’. Turns out, that exception list thingie is like in beta (for as long as systemd exists), and it doesn't really work... well, at least not most of the time.

    Not to mention various errors, daemons not responding (for god knows what reason), things being incredibly slow (compared to non-systemd based distros)... I just gave up, that is not a finished product from my POV.

    I use Void now with runit, couldn't be happier ☺️. Everything just works. If it doesn't, it's probably my fault.

    Choice is one of the great things about Linux, and I don't see alternative init going away. For most people systemd is good enough and solves problems, so I agree, in that case popular init diversity has gone away.
