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.
  • 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. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Language/ัะทั‹ะบ/Sprache

  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.

    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.

    Explain this to a really new linux user (me lol)

    [โ€“] [email protected] 38 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

    Most distros use systemd to manage deamons (mini apps that run in background / sevices) like e.g. Bluetooth.

    (those stuff you have to enable sometimes (systemctl enable my-new-app.service)

    You can use systemd-manager to check it out using a GUI

    This meme tells โ€žimagine if windows would port Systemd to windows. Winsvc stands for Windows Service

    [โ€“] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    also the creator of systemd went to work at mikrosoft

    [โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

    ๐Ÿ˜ฎdid not know that

    [โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Wait there is a GUI for SystemD? I had no idea

    Is that actually different? My phone autocorrected it like that.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

    Linux is case sensitive, so yeah

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    It is old, but it does not look bad in my opinion ๐Ÿ˜ it is such a good overview, I donโ€˜t know why KDE does not include it in its settings

    Explain this to a long-time runit user... (Seriously, I'm lost)

    [โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

    Explain this to an OpenBSD rc user (there's no OpenBSDMemes)

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Imagine if systemd was ported as the Windows init manager. (Memes about systemd being inspired by Windows with its bloat).

    [โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Systemd was actually a "clone" of apple's launchd. Similarities with windows arise from the fact that it makes sense to manage services in certain ways on modern OSs. Also services on windows are completely different from Linux and MacOS, they are even a different executable file format, not a normal exe.

    I know lol. It was a joke, although I do think that in theory leaner systems like Runit are better. But I cannot dismiss some of the innovation/work done in systemd

    The argument of Systemd being more and more like Windows-behind-the-hoods.
