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!

    NixOS sounds like a way to avoid learning Linux by learning an abstraction.

    [–] [email protected] 81 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    that's why I only use my computer with raw system calls, shell is bloat

    You guys use an OS? I just push the electrons around my motherboard manually with a little magnet on a toothpick.

    Systemd sounds like a way to avoid learning Linux by learning an abstraction.

    You keep my init system (and resolver, and timekeeper, and task scheduler, and container manager, and ...) out your f**king mouth!

    I'd personally advise against NixOS as a first distribution for that matter. It's a great distribution, but if you want to understand the underlying mechanics, start with something where you interact with them, like Arch or whatever.

    Nix is to Linux what Tailwind is to CSS

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

    Ya, sucks when Tailwind goes out of style and now have to learn CSS again.

    That's why I used to use arch btw

    it's an abstraction yeah but understanding what exactly it is abstracting and how is where you'll get snags, it's definitely not a newbie distro.
