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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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 it true? What is the best way to convert to the gospel of St. IGNUcius?

    Who's forcing anyone to use Linux?

    [–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 36 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

    I do! I break into people's apartments, beat them up a little bit and I say that I'll be back in a couple of months and if I will see them using Windows I will kill them. Works like a charm.

    Guess we all need a hobby.

    What do you do if I'm using Linux already? Beat my ass a little and then cuddle with me in bed?

    [–] Malix@sopuli.xyz 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    You're obviously using a wrong distro. Beatings will continue as planned.

    You are going to have to pry CachyOS out of my cold dead hands then.

    How did you know? Did we meet?

    What if you come back and they have a macbook?

    [–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 4 points 2 days ago

    I would tell you what happens to those people but I don't want to give you nightmares.

    [–] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Probably various workplaces. Just like lots of them force you to use Windows.

    Personal machines, yep, it's all a choice.

    [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

    It's a normal thing that you work with whatever your workplace pays you to work with.

    You see, when people complain about Windows online, and others jokingly suggest to switch to Linux, that is practically forcing people to switch, OR ELSE! /s

    I have a car issue could you guys have a quick look?

    Sell your car and switch to a bike

    Well I use my car for client visits. I try to use the bike more but some clients are very far away and it is impossible to use the bike.

    Ah so you already have a bike. Just sell your car and use the bike 100%. No car no car issues. Simple as that. Btw I use a bike

    ...

    How dare they steal your work car and replace it with a bike! /s

    Yeah, no. These comments are annoying at worst, but again, nobody is being forced to use Linux.

    The opposite (people being forced to use Windows) is more likely to be the case.

    Try troubleshooting something windows related on Lemmy. I dare you.
