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
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
  • 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.

    Oh that second one has me in flames man

    [โ€“] [email protected] 68 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (7 children)

    Are they actually naming the command "sudo" or is that just a comparison?

    Edit: apparently yes, the audacity lol

    The sudo command offers a way to quickly elevate a command as administrator from your current unelevated command line context and is familiar to some users coming from other operating systems.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    From any other operating system

    [โ€“] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    TempleOS doesn't have sudo, you just need to pray for a divine intervention.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

    You don't need sudo, everything is already in Ring 0 as God intended.

    Don't forget all the UI/UX they've been copying from KDE. Working at Microsoft must be such an easy job when the open source community does all your work for you.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (6 children)

    A problem I have with the GPL is it allows corporations and shareholders to use software for free. I would be interested in licensing software I make for commercial use by sole proprietors and other small businesses for free, but charge truly offensive prices to entities that have "investors." Like, Bob's wood shop, where Bob, his son Rob, and Rob's friend from high school Jimmy make butcher block counter tops? They can use my software for free. Microsoft? $600 trillion per seat per minute.

    Seriously. Yes.

    If Microsoft doesn't have a secret internal build of Windows that runs on a Linux Kernel, they're out of their minds.

    The Windows Kernel, as cool as it is, is 100% a cost center. If Microsoft switches (seemlessly) to a Linux kernel, no one would really notice. So at some point they should really switch it.

    1. they'll have to opensource the code if they use linux kernel
    2. even with linux being vastly superior, it nice we have 3 major kernels with widely different approaches. it would be sad if either of these 3 dies out

    1. they'll have to opensource the code if they use linux kernel

    Only changes they would make to the kernel. There is no obligation to make an OS utilizing the linux kernel open source.

    I'm glad they're teaching they're user base linux, will make transitioning easier

    I think you're misunderstanding their goal.

    I'll take it.

    Do they finally have an ls in the default path, or do I still need to alias that?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

    There's an alias for it by default in PowerShell.

    don't frogette about the new windows terminal

    [โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

    kinda sad tbh

    [โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (6 children)

    Now get rid of those silly back slashes in paths, use bash as a non mentally deficient shell, change that sad kernel to Linux 6.8 and up, change your laughably sad NTFS to something sane, anything, even ext3 would do but take ext4, get rid of your ridiculous drive letters and instead of copying KDE, why don't you just switch to KDE on X or Wayland?

    Do all that and make it open and free, like all other actual operating systems and we'll talk

    To drop a feature means to get rid of it. Words have meaning, guys

    [โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    Drop can mean to release or to discontinue, some words have two meanings, which gets selected via context.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Confusingly enough to release can also mean to publish or to cut loose.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

    My favorite when reading sports news is "resign".

    It can mean that they quit or that they entered into a new contract.

    only through private ownership of property and capitalist competition can good ideas emerge and be adopted

    [โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

    sudo can only be elevated via the User Account Control (UAC) security feature designed to protect the operating system from unauthorized changes using verification prompt.

    lmao

    [โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Actually, you do... does it have higher authority than TrustedInstaller or SYSTEM?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (5 children)

    No, just admin, which we could already do by running CMD as admin.
