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 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.

    Interesting. I use Mint. I'm not a Methodist.

    My wife on the other hand is a Methodist lay speaker so...

    Heaven's Gate: TempleOS

    Every time I come on here I see another distro I haven’t heard about. This time it was Puppy Linux.

    Hannah Montana Linux is still the goat

    [–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

    I’ve seen that one.

    It's a classic!

    To stick to the theme of my chart, since Unitarian Universalism is non-trinitarian it would likely need to be a Unix-like OS that isn't Linux. I would give it OpenSolaris. (And that's a compliment.)

    Unfortunately I belong to Windows denomination

    I disagree. You have MacOS as "Spiritual but not Religious".

    MacOS is Hillsong.

    Also, many of these are not Christian, and many of these are not Linux.

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 6 points 2 days ago

    MacOS is Hillsong.

    I can see that.

    Also, many of these are not Christian, and many of these are not Linux.

    I'm aware.

    ReactOS should be mormonism

    If I go distro->religion then I guess I'm Orthodox.

    If I go religion->distro then I guess I need to start using a TI graphing calculator.

    I understand very few of these, except for arch, slack and the bottom row.

    How is ope suse and chrome Os related? Are baptist and southern baptist very different?

    Northern baptists were decentralized abolitionists, while southern baptists were centralized and pro-slavery.

    I was really proud of a lot of these jokes by the way. Many are multi-layered.

    First up: FreeBSD is NOT a Linux distribution, and secondly, is NetBSD so small that it is nowhere to be found?

    Berkeley software distribution β‰  Linux (or gnu+Linux, which is btw not true for all distros.)

    Bro u r duuuuuuuumb (wanna kiss?)

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 14 points 2 days ago

    That's part of the joke.

    When was Windows 11, Lineage/Android, MacOS or a fucking TI calculator a proper Linux distro

    [–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

    Lineage/Android

    Only the kernel is called Linux. The userspace is completely different from GNU/Linux but the actual software named Linux is being used. Alpine Linux isn't GNU/Linux either.

    FreeBSD is definitely Satanism

    Wait, ChromeOS was explicitly created to support the institution of chattel slavery? Who knew?!

    [–] 1dalm@lemmings.world 5 points 2 days ago

    Sounds about right to me.
