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!

    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.

    What is a Distro?

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    A distro is a set of applications preinstalled on a Linux kernel that don't seem to work as expected. Debugging tools usually don't come preinstalled with the distro.

    I don't recommend them, they just cause arguments online

    it is a tribe, they have conflicting ideas and ideologies apart from that Linux and FOSS is great, everything else is contestable. There is a hierarchy in the tribes with strong links to there initiation ritual. You are free to change tribe as much as you want or even be in multiple tribes but when war breaks out you must defend your tribe.

    I am in the Arch, Debian and Alpine tribes.
