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!

    Wouldn’t gnux make more sense?

    richard stallman wanted lignux lmfao

    Honestly, I think this kinds works. Like Lignux neatly integrates GNU without awkwardly expanding it and could be pronounced the same way already is (unless you want to be a psychopath and go around saying 'Lig-Nucks').

    [–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

    But you do pronounce the g in gnu, so NOT saying it as lig-nucks would still be dropping the gnu. Plus it sounds like "lick nuts" and that makes me giggle.

    I am so happy that is the case because that's always my immediate solution as well.

    Can't wait for a distro that uses only rust in the user space and calls itself rust/linux

    I think you all missed it, somebody solved the naming issue a few days ago in another Linux community

    Solved??, looks like the post get really hit it

    [–] BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

    I have no idea what the guy is talking about.

    I just thought it was relevant as they put forward a rant about solving “the GNU Linux naming problem” that is one of the more confusing and strange things I have read.

    Yea, I read that post twice and still dont even know what they are suggesting as a solution for me to decide to hate it.
