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.

    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.

    It’s not Linux, it’s something entirely unique.

    TempleOS is a 64-bit, non-preemptive multi-tasking,[8] multi-cored, public domain, open source, ring-0-only, single address space, non-networked, PC operating system for recreational programming.[9] The OS runs 8-bit ASCII with graphics in source code and has a 2D and 3D graphics library, which run at 640x480 VGA with 16 colors.[5] Like most modern operating systems, it has keyboard and mouse support. It supports ISO 9660, FAT32 and RedSea file systems (the latter created by Davis) with support for file compression.[10] According to Davis, many of these specifications—such as the 640x480 resolution, 16-color display and single audio voice—were instructed to him by God. He explained that the limited resolution was to make it easier for children to draw illustrations for God.[1]

    When he was alive, he would be frequently banned from forums for getting into crazy arguments about esoteric code things. Also the racial slurs. A complicated but beautiful human being.

    TempleOS is a fever-dream.

    The entire OS is released into the Public Domain, so it's technically more free than Linux, which is quite a feat.

    Kind of like the Watts Towers, it's a one-man curiosity or folly.

    I mean he was a theocratic racist piece of shit but ok

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

    Having interacted with him a few times online (if he was alive he would be on this comment thread right now, and would probably have been banned at this point) - he was severely mentally ill. I’m not sure if he had any form of political ideology that was coherent enough to be “theocratic.”

    Like, when you run TempleOS, the majority of programs on there are about using random number generators to “talk to” God. There are keyboard shortcuts for this purpose. I don’t think he was fun to be around - I imagine that his parents were at the end of their rope by the time they kicked him out - but Davis spent the last ten years or so of his life completely untethered from reality.

    Linux swinger parties: On the way in you drop a thumb drive loaded with a distro installer in a fishbowl, then spend 30 minutes drinking energy drinks and dunking on MS, then grab a random thumb drive on your way out. That's your new daily driver.

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

    You know somebody's putting barebones LFS on one of those drives.

    Gotta bring condoms for your boot drives

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

    Honestly though this could work if it was just a configuration file. Maybe something like Nix, Ansible or a bash script.

    But templeos isn't Linux...

    I chose Endeavor because I like its wallpapers.

    (And I am too scared of installing Arch)

    Learning more about Linux, I smile when people review distros on YouTube based on the desktop environment

    Like, I know you are reviewing « SuperFunOS » but really that’s just a fork of Ubuntu with Plasma…

    « I give it negative points because there is no office suite included » Dude… really? …

    (Dammit… I’m slowly becoming an elitist 😨 )

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

    I rate Linux distros by the proportion of doing work on my computer:working on my computer

    Most people want stuff to just work.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

    I dislike Arch btw

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

    Whats a wallpaper? I thought we were supposed to use linux CLI only.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

    I choose my distro based on if KDE will crash or not.

    So far on my hardware only NixOS has not got that issue out of the box.

    i chose my first linux distro based on difficulty (gentoo). needless to say it took me two weeks to get my computer to boot up and load i3 without problems.

    Me in the past 2 years: choosing a Linux distro based on whether it's nixos

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

    Only one of those OP. The oldest one in the list. When any of those other distros bring something new and beneficial to the mix I might consider them.

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

    I choose by which distro is most suited to make me suffer
