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.

    But are the thigh high socks provided or must I purchase them separately?

    [–] smeg@feddit.uk 111 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    You'll know you completed the installation successfully when you look down and see the socks have materialised

    [–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 69 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    TIL that unix socks are actually a parasitic lifeform, transmitted via arch isos.

    [–] smeg@feddit.uk 40 points 4 months ago

    More of a symbiot than a parasite, it's not like the host doesn't benefit from them!

    [–] bitwaba@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

    That's why I only use my socks by proxy

    Installing Arch makes you a Femboy?

    [–] smeg@feddit.uk 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    It's probably not mandatory, I imagine the arch wiki explains all the details

    I really want one of those pairs, for my knees get cold in winters.

    Guess I'll install Arch for a freebie.

    Ordinarily I would be fine with this. I use Arch anyway. But an Arch system configured by somebody else? I'd be safer leaving my laptop at home!

    [–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 31 points 4 months ago

    I think that's the idea - I love how this is a double entendre for those that know....

    [–] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 84 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

    If a laptop is left unattended long enough to do a fresh Arch install, it's probably been abandoned anyway.

    Unnaproved software installation implies an obligation to provide user support... indefinitely.

    The arch installing bandit is anonymous. Noone knows how to reach him

    [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 38 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Like the guy that installed Windows on your machine without you asking...

    [–] rtxn@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

    That same guy started covertly encrypting users' data and then the fucking keys stopped working. I'll take zero support over that.

    [–] wazzupdog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 4 months ago (4 children)

    I head cannon the arch installation bandit as a girl.

    [–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago (3 children)

    Why is it "head cannon" and not "head canon"? You got some kind of gun strapped to your head that you keep stories in?

    [–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

    Actually I think they mean that "as a girl" (meaning the commenter is a girl), they "head cannon" (meaning they use a cannon to shoot heads) "at the arch installation bandit". I hope this annotated version helps!

    [–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    I head cannon the arch installation bandit as a girl.

    Quaffing the potion of gender stability, now in your female form you strap on the head cannon and fire it at the arch installation bandit.

    The arch bandit takes 5d7 damage and collapses prone. Seeing their leader defeated, the subordinate installation bandits flee. You have reclaimed Installation Cathedral from the bandits and can now invite the Installation Medium to summon the spirits of past operating systems.

    If you wanted to truly punish them, install Debian Stable

    [–] deltapi@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago

    Yes, the crime of giving them a stable OS that once it is set up keeps working reliably for years to come.

    [–] probableprotogen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    The real hell would be gentoo

    [–] lightnegative@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    No way, at least Gentoo is up to date

    [–] archonet@lemy.lol 47 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    not by the time it's done compiling, it's not

    "Punish"? See how they react when they boot into TempleOS.

    Oh, only Linux? There's always Hannah Montana or North Korea Linux...but that'd be giving a foreign dictatorship a botnet node...

    In which case I was gonna say "Well an NSA-friendly OS would be funny" but then we're just back to Windows!

    Does Carmen San Diego work there or something?

    [–] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 38 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Its redhat, nyuk nyuk nyuk. https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux

    Or maybe Carmen is a Linux user idk i just work here man.

    [–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

    Good work, gumshoe.

    [–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 24 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

    Easy. Buy a new laptop, let them upgrade from w•ndows to arch, then dump arch for something like MX or whatever else I use in the future. Then I wouldn't have to touch the default w•ndows installation forced into me.

    [–] Nutteman@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (5 children)

    Look, windows is bad, but we should reserve asterisks for actually bad things that require censoring in all circumstances, such as Br*t*sh or *ng*l*sh.

    [–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    Using two asterisks makes things italic. You can only use one

    [–] dumbass@leminal.space 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

    Just drop a \ in front of the first * and you're all good.

    [–] Nutteman@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

    dammit I should know this by now lma

    broken Nvidia Optimus free of charge

    [–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Afaik Nvidia Optimus works fine on arch if setup following the wiki. It's mainly other distros that have Nvidia problems.
