2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- 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.
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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
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 remove France.

Yup, it can be edited. This is not Reddit. :)
Done. Thanks!
Ooh do snap next
And then apt?
There was a mote of an idea floating about a few months back you've reminded me of. Basically distrohopping the hard way - start with one distro and install/remove packages until you've gotten to another one.
Theseus OS
Starting from lfs?
Oh that's nasty. Yeah, do it!
You... You wouldn't actually do this, would you?
@Ging @nutbutter it's freedom of init system choice!
You're not wrong, but ...jesus what is that homeserver? I'm gonna go clean the coffee off my monitor now
@Ging this was reference to one funny musks post about mastodon few years ago (post was deleted later)
Also, mascot is green elephant reference:

After further review, I respect this greatly :D
No idea what you're taking about, but I'll always upvote this picture.
How does one actually use systemd? I tried making a script to trigger every time I boot up but it didn't work out for me
This should work. Add a file /home/username/.config/systemd/user/my_cool_service.service with this content:
[Unit]
Description=My cool service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/home/username/my_cool_script.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
Now add the script /home/username/my_cool_script.sh.
#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello from my cool script."
Enable and run the service.
$ chmod +x /home/username/my_cool_script.sh
$ systemctl --user daemon-reload
$ systemctl --user enable my_cool_service.service
# Optional:
$ systemctl --user start my_cool_service.service
$ journalctl -e --user-unit=my_cool_service # You should see the echoed string from the script.
The service should now run every time the user username logs in.
Oh, thanks! My distro has a package that has a bunch of visual configurations that reset on boot and I wanted to do my configs on top
Did you set the WantedBy field?
Did you systemctl enable the service?
Installing Arch with extra steps
chmod 640 for the win.
