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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 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.

    Man, this infographic is like, EXACTLY why people are scared of Linux, lol.

    It has a lot of good info but it's just so overloaded. Can't decide what story it wants to tell so it tells like 7 of them.

    So I knew about HML for a while, but today is the first time I learned that the creator also made a song.

    The world has never before and never will again see such talent.

    Long ago, I used Debian on my main PC but decided to go with Ubuntu on the laptop because it was easy to set up.

    Later I switched to Debian on the laptop, too, because ultimately I felt Ubuntu was just Debian with extra steps.

    There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about...

    Unless you've worn the sackcloth and ashes of Slack, don't even at me and my son.....

    The flash backs to config files. Sooo many config files everywhere. But tarball are Yum!

    Here's a picture of the linux distro family tree:

    There's Debian, the distro.

    There's Redhat/Fedora, which is commercial,

    there's gentoo, where on installation, everything is compiled from source.

    There is slackware, mostly for historical purposes (it was the first distro),

    there's arch for ~~people who want to feel they're better than others~~ tinkerers,,

    there is openSUSE, which is like redhat but german.

    Arch-based is only going to become more of a thing thanks to SteamOS.

    This movie is the best. I remember I used to sit in my dads recliner and eat ice cream and just watch this all day while my parents weren't home. Then it'd freak me out and I'd have to turn it off till I got the courage to watch a bit more.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

    I like your commitment to the bit

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    I could just rattle off random words and they’re probably real distros somewhere

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

    My daily hobby is to go through the english dictionary and make a new distro for each word.

    Okay okay, we only needed 10.

    Edit: Though Ubuntu falls under Debian, so that's redundant.

    Off the top of my head:

    OpenSuSE, Gentoo, Arch, Debian, Mandrake, Damn Small Linux, Puppy Linux, Backtrack Linux, Slackware, CentOS

    Some of these have changed names or stopped being supported, unfortunately.

    WSL, Mac OS, Richard Stallman, GNU, the cloud

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    Arch, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Lindows (the one that was getting sued by macrohard in the past), Mocachino (not added to DW yet but is on their list of ones needing approval or something/LFS based distro), MX Linux, Sparky, Mint, Gentoo, and Fedora were the first ones that popped into my head almost immediately.
