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!

    The old joke is that "Ubuntu" is a Bantu word meaning "can't install Debian."

    This is clearly humor, but for anyone wondering what the actual connection is, it's that Mark Shuttleworth, the billionaire founder and CEO of Canonical (the company that maintains Ubuntu), is from South Africa. He liked the word, and decided to name his new Debian fork after it.

    Where does Archbishop Tutu fit in within the Saint IGNUcious religious hierarchy?

    [–] camelbeard@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    He just really wants people to know he's the bischop of Arch

    I love the poster, but honestly, calling it "the African way", like all Africa was the same seems pretty odd to me.
