  • 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.

    Setting Aliases because I can't remember the new ones

    I got a buddy who switched to EndeavourOS after using Linux Mint for about a year, He said he was too lazy to learn pacman/yay so he spent an hour making fake apt aliases, I forgot what happened but after a while he gave up on it and just got use to pacman.

    Writing all those aliases probably helped him learn pacman.

    I just set

    upd = <distro update command>
ins = <distro install command> 
pur = <distro purge command>
uin = <distro uninstall command>

    in every distro, I don't know why you'd want package management to be distro specific commands

    ins and uin for some reason feels wrong, like inst and tsni feels more right to me and I know it shouldn’t.

    tsni feels so wrong 😭

    I know but some strange part of me loves it

    You’re the kind of guy that ends if statements with fi and you should be ashamed.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    I can’t tell you how many times the missing fi has hurt my feelings and made me waste precious hours of my life

    A punishment fitting the crime, the universe is balanced once more.

    Bash was a mistake.

    Creates a Time Machine to go back to 1988 and tell them do not create bash

    ins feels like insert. uin feels like it skips the first n on accident. To me, anyways.

    You could also use the pkcon command.

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    I'm fine with using pacman in general, but always forget how to uninstall an app completely. So I set the alias yeet for that. Since then, I've also set it on different systems like dnf.

    I’m kind of curious how far he got with this

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    I've found a cheat sheet from apt to pacman/yay that helped me with that
