2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Win12 confirmed as a Linux mint cinnamon derivative distro.

    No, that would be too soon. It took them over 20 years to make a package manager, 15 years to add tabs to Windows Explorer. Maybe in 10-20 years they will do it.

    package manager

    They've got winget recently so they get closer than you think.

    "linux mint, but it sells your data"

    i know microsft isn't really selling it, but they're making money like they do.

    And slower and never fuckin updates...

    [–] SGHFan@lemdro.id 3 points 9 months ago

    Also features Snap?

    [–] ad_on_is@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    I think mint is too Linuxy for win...they might go with Ubuntu and embrace snaps

    ironically, cinnamon was made to be familiar to windows users (im pretty sure)

    [–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

    Cinnamon is one of four DEs whose reason for being is to be Not Gnome 3. Mate, a fork of Gnome 2, Cinnamon, a fork of Gnome 3 that isn't dumb and bad, Unity, from Ubuntu's "Not Developed Here" period, and more recently Cosmic or whatever Pop!_OS is calling their thing.

    I thought Microsoft was copying KDE
