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.

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

    I have some RedHat CDs from the late 1990s (probably collectible at this point). I remember having a great deal of difficulty mounting my particular cd rom to even install it. I never got a driver for my video card at the time to work, so the "graphics" were awful (640x480 text only, iirc).

    Anyway, few experiences will be more frustrating than trying to use them. I think it should be mandatory for aspiring computer people to play with them, so they can appreciate how far we have come.

    Not Linux, but VMS is specifically designed to run on VAX systems.

    Actual: ChromeOS or Android

    Snobby: Ubuntu with Unity

    You need Windows ME for that.

    Vista also sucks pretty hard.

    @NONE_dc i think, vacuum cleaner's stock firmware usually sucks the most

    MacOS is Unix though, not Linux.

    (it's the only non-mainframe OS that's officially Unix certified)

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

    The various BSDs aren't UNIX certified?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

    Nope. There's a list here: https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/

    As far as I know, BSD and Linux are "UNIX-like", but only MacOS is actually UNIX.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

    BSD is based on the original UNIX code, and macOS's kernel is based on FreeBSD specifically. Linux, however, is a clone of UNIX, and therefore "UNIX-like", as you mentioned, but BSD is actual UNIX.

    The worst i have used was fedora lxqt. A really disappointing experience. Not entirely unusable, but a big downgrade, even compared to things like Antix. It is incredibly slow, looks ugly, has like 1000 packages at most, that doesn't contain more than the most basic and well known software. When i try to install anything else than dnf as package manager, it will not work, or just break. For someone who wants Linux for experimenting, it is highly advised against

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago

    Isn't that just a spin of fedora with a different DE? Should work exactly like any other fedora system, besides the de of course.

    Noobuntu /s
