- 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. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
- 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.

*laughs in sid
living on the edge? how does it feel like?
As refugee from long time daily driving arch (4 years straight) i say
It's honestly a lot smoother than people say. Things mostly work fine, and the odd breakage is never a real issue and is quickly resolved.
However, I had to install Librewolf as an AppImage, since bgstack15 was having some trouble getting the OBS to work recently.
Running sid for 5 years now. Had one major breakage where couldnt boot into DE automatically for a few days. I think it affected everyone....
Had one other minor breakage where i ignored a warning from apt-listbugs.... I learned my lesson after that
So... Overall, sid has been a really good experience.. Just make sure you read the listbugs warning on every update. And always double check if running full-upgrade to ensure nothing important is getting removed
Debian distros are named after Toy Story characters.
Sid is a kid who breaks all the toys.
Sid is Debian's unstable branch :D
It's the "unstable" rolling version of Debian. The issue I used to have with Debian was that the packages were quite old, but that's not the case with Sid.
