1. Follow the site-wide rules

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.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Manjaro, easy choice.

    The one that's put out when Elon buys the Linux Foundation.

    Does windows for linux count?

    If not, maybe azure linux

    Maybe ubuntu since its recommended by microsoft

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago

    Red Star anybody?

    There was a Windows tablet I bought for PDFs only. It ran some terrible Windows 8 lite version. That would easily be the worst Linux distro.

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

    Windows RT. What a pile.

    It'll randomly doze off whenever you don't look at it for 5 seconds, tho.

    [–] [email protected] 26 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

    Damn I really can't argue with that. The developer is a prick

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

    Can someone seriously type with their penis? Impressive!

    Apparently it's Athena Linux. At least, that's what the hackable vacuums use.

    most honest privacy policy.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

    Is there even a place on the website that asks for that information?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

    Well now I'm even more conflicted about sending them my email!

    "I use Arch btw"

    Similar to a joke my dad told in the 90's

    If Microsoft ever makes a product that doesn't suck, it'll be a vacuum cleaner.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 19 hours ago

    Your dad is a great dadjoker!

    Oracle linux, just tell them your carpet has an unlicensed database.

    [–] [email protected] 75 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    I was invited to a user group where oracle Linux was trying to get more adopters. The coolest thing they had was the ability to update a kernel driver while it was running. In place. Without downtime.

    I asked them if they planned on pushing this improvement to the kernel devs and they just gave me a blank face.

    Told me everything I needed to know about Oracle Linux. I promptly formatted the thumb drive they gave me for free.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

    All of our testing cells at work run Oracle!
    I don't know much about it though.

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 23 hours ago

    If they released it for free then Ubuntu wouldn't have Ubuntu Pro to sell subscriptions to.

    Our roborock robot vacuum runs Ubuntu (I'm not joking)

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

    Windows running WSL running a VM running Debian 2.2.

    the one you, the reader, uses

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

    Ironically, I'm reading this from PostmarketOS, which has support for the echo dot 2, feature phones and some smartwatches, so it might be realistic to run on a vacum lol.

    ... My vacuum actually does run Linux.

    !It's a roborock with Valetudo installed so it doesn't need internet access!<

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

    There are dozens of us! Mine is a Dreame D9 with a custom GLaDOS voice pack that I can change by updating a CVS file.

    All of them except Hannah Montana Linux, which is the One True Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

    Hannah Montana Linux is the past, RebeccaBlackOS is the future!!

    [–] [email protected] 46 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    TempleOS is the one TRUE OS

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

    TempleOS is God's chosen OS, but I don't live at church. I use TempleOS to pray, and Hannah Montana Linux for personal tasks. That way I get the best of both worlds.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

    But it isn’t Linux.

    Installing on my fridge. Which one is the coolest?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

    TempleOS

    Be careful to not store any water in there

    Manjaro might be good, but you'll have to adjust the vacuum's clock every time you want to clean

    [–] [email protected] 44 points 1 day ago

    I'd say Manjaro but they'd probably DDOS your vacuum on accident.

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (12 children)

    RHEL because the best Linux is the one you pay for.
