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.

    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.

    I'm sure they also argue with randos about systemd and down vote any posts about any desktop environments other than the one that they use.

    [–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 47 points 5 months ago (4 children)

    It's probably a tiling window manager. ;)

    Even if it's the same DE/WM still downvote them, because they're using it wrong.

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as X, is in fact, X11/X.Org, or as I've recently taken to calling it, X11 plus X.Org. X11 is not an display server unto itself, but rather a free protocol of a fully functioning X.Org system ...

    [–] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I took it to mean, people who says "I use *, BTW" so like, "I use Arch BTW" "I use Reddit BTW" "I program in HTML, BTW". Maybe I'm thinking of this wrong, BTW.

    [–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 6 points 5 months ago

    i though the same thing before reading other comments

    [–] mrvictory1@lemmy.world 42 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    No, I spend my time judging others' choice of software. /s

    [–] pyre@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago (3 children)

    solve for x

    x = arch

    that's pretty much all I've seen here

    [–] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Could be a X.org too

    Oh thank God. I thought they were bragging about using Twitter.

    [–] Neon@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

    I use NixOS btw

    [–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago (3 children)

    I suck my own dick btw

    [–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 months ago

    When you get done, can you suck my dick too?

    I use x btw

    [–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Why not Mastodon?

    [–] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

    I didn't even think about the name of that shitty platform when I jokingly wrote that. Let me be clear that I do NOT use X, btw.

    [–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Also using X btw, because I haven't figured out how to get two mouse cursors on Wayland yet 😅

    [–] Spiralvortexisalie@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

    All my homies hate wayland, what kind of desktop isn’t a file

    [–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

    I use a computer btw

    [–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

    Holy smokes. Surely no one on lemmy would announce that they still use x! That place is a disaster!

    [edit] oh. I get it now. They just meant they don't think Wayland is ready yet. Sorry.

    [–] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 8 points 5 months ago

    I use Wayland, BTW.

    [–] menemen@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (3 children)

    I use Ubuntu btw.

    [–] sturlabragason@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    No matter what the post is I suggest they should just use Linux instead.

    It’s better than anything else in the universe.

    [–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 15 points 5 months ago (5 children)

    "I use lube the masturbate"

    "You should just use Linux instead. It's better than anything else in the universe." -sturlabragason, definitely

    [–] dezmd@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    What do you use, sand?

    [–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 months ago

    Some of us like a polished sausage

    [–] sturlabragason@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

    I stand by my earlier statement.

    BSD

    [–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 months ago

    Finally a reference to arch btw that I can not roll my eyes at. Should be a sticky post.

    [–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

    I use Arch btw.

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 5 months ago

    Wayland is still too broken for him?

    [–] SuDmit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 months ago

    First I somehow understood it like X as ex-twitter, and was like, "whoa, never saw it, bit interesting and kinda unique". Then made connection to Arch, and finally then to X11 /xorg. Huh

    [–] dukatos@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

    I use FreeBSD, BTW

    [–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 5 points 5 months ago

    Ubuntu ain't broke, usually, so I don't fix it.

    [–] Shayeta@feddit.de 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I've been daily driving the same Arch installation at work without any issues... for the past five years.
