Community rules (click to expand)

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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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 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.
  • 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.

    I usually see it referred to as GNU/Linux. I always consider Android as Android/Linux to differentiate it from desktop.

    [–] uis@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Good take. GNU project + Linux = GNU/Linux. Android project + Linux = Android/Linux.

    [–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    And if you're talking about all of those in general, it's just Linux.

    [–] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I've come to the conclusion that lumping in Android/ChromeOS to the broad term is a stat padding exercise. It makes the whole of Linux look like it's the most used OS in the world. But I'm OK with if you want to do so.

    Call it GNU/Linux or Linux I don't care. I just refer to it as whatever distro I've hopped to for this month. So to me, right now I'm typing this on my laptop running Fedora 40 KDE and my mini-desktop is running Fedora 40 Atomic Budgie.

    I'm just running Linux. Or for the Linux people it's KDE Plasma. Or Ubuntu with LXDE. Or degoogled Android. Or whatever, these are examples.

    Don't you dare to talk about Google Spyware OS in "general" with free OSes

    [–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 1 points 10 months ago

    Don't you confuse people with your open os'es by calling them free. No charge is the only real free.

    Ok, but what if there isn't any GNU? Musl/Linux?

    [–] user1234 4 points 10 months ago

    Then you call it Musl/Linux.

    [–] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Musl isn't entire userland

    [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    So I guess musl/busybox/Linux?

    [–] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

    Is it OpenWRT?
