Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

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.

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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

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 remove France.

I've only ever tried one distro. Please enlighten me on what's wrong with Ubuntu.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Nothing is really wrong with any distro. They each just have they general strengths and weaknesses. Different distros for specific tasks.

It's all just a flame war.

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nothing really. Distros have different goals. Some distros have more access to bleeding edge updates than ubuntu.

Some don't like that ubuntu forces you to use the snap store, which is proprietary, with packages that are larger and run slow and hog a lot of memory compared to other package managers (such as apt)

[–] CapeWearingAeroplane@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is starting to be some years back, but I was exclusively using apt when I was using Ubuntu, have they gone away from that?

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

yeah, many packages now defaults as snaps in ubuntu. firefox being a single but prominent example, the package on apt simply installs the snap now. You can get around that but you'll have to add mozillas repository. It's Canonical's proprietary thing so I guess it makes sense.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Ubuntu is fine. But Caninical has made business decisions that are 100% inline with the typical foss intent.
