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.

    Lisa, we obey the laws of thermodynamics in this house!

    ASCII art does count as graphics I guess.

    Before that, we need to talk about the latent heat and the refrigeration cycle

    Since there are no arrows indicating direction, all paths begin at Arch and end with questioning who you are.

    (It took me way too long to understand that "ever used linux before?" didn't have two separate 'no' branches)

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    It goes to the question "geek?" Which then can be answered as "hobbyist" or "yes", but the half circle makes it weird. That's how I read it, but if you choose hobbyist you indeed get into an argument of "WHAT AM I?"

    Edit: oh, the yes and no are UNDER the question if you've used Linux. The No on the left comes from another branch. Pfff, just woke up, now I even see you said exactly that. I need coffee....

    Ubuntu and Linux Mint users stuck in an infinite loop in the corner really sells the whole flowchart πŸ˜‚

    Wait, it's all Arch?

    What if I don't have the socks?

    Believe it or not, Arch Linux.

    All it needs is "Do you have Experience?" after asking if you have a life, and both choices go to Kali Linux

    I switched to it not even three months ago, after two years on arch and I'm not going back. Just as if not more configurable than arch and it's actually harder to bloat with something and then forget about it, since you always have user-readable description of your current system.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

    Although, it's possible to bloat it unknowingly: networkmanager, for example, depends on a few VPNs noone would ever need, and one of them depends on webkitgtk, so you actually have to mkForce modules to include only the necessary stuff. Not like that's a huge issue, but I wasn't amused when I saw "building webkitgtk" while cross-compiling πŸ˜†

    BTW, I approve of this chart

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

    Thanks!

    I installed OpenSuSE!

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

    I got lost and now I have Mint.

    What if I want a usable one.

    Idk, but I can recommend you a few that are less usable

    I hate how good Arch is! It's like the more exciting, younger co-worker constantly seducing me to leave my wife Debian.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

    Something phishy is going on

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

    Tfw you install endeavour and after some time you consider swapping to pure arch because that icon is just so god damn perfect.

    Which based OS should I go for?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

    who uses shart Linux?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Pure sectarianism. Simple binary Linux, how is it better than Ubuntu?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    mint > anything else

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

    if you are looking for a HURD based stable OS you are a bit out of luck.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

    you mean baby's first distro?
