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.

    1st: Fedora
    2nd: Arch

    Debian would be: "nothing changed!" (with a sad or happy guy depending on use case)

    [–] [email protected] 44 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    With Debian it's more like "cool, everything still works as expected."

    Source: I don't use Arch btw.

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    Your arch system would probably have updates unless you just updated within the last few minutes. Being suprised seems a bit unnecessary.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

    I sometimes update out of habit almost immediately after I updated. That's always a little disappointing.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    And then you actually have a new update available... Happens to me to often

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

    Oh god, me too. It's a Pavlovian response!

    Finally, a use for the * * * * * * cron expression!

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    If you're on Arch, then you want those tasty hourly updates om nom nom

    source: I use Arch btw

    All I wanna do is sudo pacman -Syu

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    paru -Syu, you don't want to forget your AUR packages, right?

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    You can do the same with just paru. No flags necessary.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    Or save yourself a character and just yay

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Heathen, using any software not written in rust is sacrilege

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)
    [–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

    Exactly what I always do, since I have to use a kernel not written in rust I uninstall the kernel once I've booted so it's only in memory and no longer tainting my storage with its impurity

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

    I'll even add some characters and use pikaur

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I like to be a bit more explicit than necessary.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

    Explicit is better than implicit.

    Unless you're trying to get a movie or game to get a teen-friendly rating, in which case you might not want to make the sex scenes quite as explicit.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I have seen horrors beyond comprehension because i tried updating aur packages

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Well, it's easy enough if you only use precompiled packages. Beyond that you should probably have a better understanding of what you are doing.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

    Oh no i know what im doing. I just had dependency hell way to often with aur packages so i just dont update them anymore unless i need to do so

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

    Not being able to Syu every 5 minutes and only being able to update once a day was the biggest challenge when I changed to NixOS
