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 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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Something that works fairly well for me:

    • Make a copy of the file you're working sudo copy /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
    • Ask a particular question to ChatGPT How do I mount a samba share in Ubuntu Server 22.04?
    • Read through the commands and try them out. ChatGPT is great for stuff like this, especially with follow-up questions, and giving you detailed info on error messages.
    • If you fubar, then simply restore your backup file and try again.

    1. ChatGPT gives bad command, system fails to boot
    2. Drops into emergency shell
    3. Ask ChatGPT how to fix fstab from emergency shell
    4. Goto 1), rinse and repeat

    You can also replace ChatGPT with Devin and achieve the same results*

    *Your mileage may vary depending on the quality of your Devin
