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.

    Is that chromium too by any chance?

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

    It's Chromium's non-Google cousin.

    If that piques your interest, be aware that it's mostly Apple's baby.

    And to swing back positive again, it's open-source because Apple didn't create it in the first place and they're bound by GPL to keep it that way.


    Finally, a useful fun fact: WebKit GTK often comes with a MiniBrowser program that is a bare-bones web browser wrapped around the engine.

    It isn't symlinked in /usr/bin or anywhere like that, but it does work as an emergency secondary browser if something breaks your main one.

    It's usually found somewhere like /usr/lib/{OS type}/webkitgtk-{version}/MiniBrowser

    On my machine it's /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.1/MiniBrowser

    Oh right, webkit (I seem to be bad at understanding the words I'm reading). I love that most modern web engines are just forks of KHTML

    I've never emerged chromium, proud waterfox user :)

    Do you have the source for the original video? A mechanic friend would love this but I don't want to spend 10 minutes explaining what Gentoo is.

    Edit: found a different supercut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxr6Zv5GRkc

    No, this is itself a repost
