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.
    • Β 

    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 mean...

    They have GUI system upgrades, this is kind of a pain in Debian

    Okay, now I updated 12 laptops from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 and...

    • it always hangs at "swap deb Thunderbird with snap", like, always. 12 times.
    • the wallpaper is gone after the upgrade, every single time
    • there are like 10 buttons to click
    • you need to be a sudo user (the updater shows but just vanishes when being a nonsudoer!)
    • on 2 machines some random repo issues caused a silent error. Needed to apt update in the terminal, fixed
    • there are tons of snap packages, and all are outdated, yay! Installing those on a sudo account causes them to fail on the nonsudo account.

    Damn this is bad. And this is like, the best of the best distros?

    Doubt that. Fedora Atomic has way more potential, while only being user friendly as uBlue.

    Every couple of years I think to myself "Ubuntu can't be that bad, can it? I must be misremembering. Surely it's just some combination of my memory exaggerating how terrible it was and my lackluster Linux skills, which have since improved. Everybody still recommends it as a beginner distro, right? Why'd I stop using it?"

    And then I download Ubuntu.

    And then I remember.

    It works great as a quick and easy WSL module if you need to quickly patch the kernel of your embedded Linux device at work πŸ€—, well, maybe it would have been just as easy using just debian, to be fair πŸ€”

    Ubuntu is very much NOT the best of the distros anymore.

    I’ve been using Kinoite on one of my daily drivers, and so far I’m loving it.

    I mean I could list you at least 5 things that kinda suck on Fedora Atomic. But yes the core principle is so much better.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

    I don’t mean to imply it’s perfect, but as a relatively popular distro to use as a daily driver, I’ve been happy with it overall.
