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.

    ...
    I feel dumb that it took me so long to comprehend it, but, just in case there's anyone else struggling:

    This Mac user is running Linux in a virtual machine within a Windows virtual machine ._.

    And something inside me seems to be screaming.

    The sound feels as though it's emanating from roughly where I used to think my soul would have been.

    Never trust someone with a username like @satansmaggotycumfart@piefed.world

    [–] Maiq@piefed.social 15 points 2 days ago

    One of the the best nom de plumes on the internet!

    [–] mEEGal@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

    uughhhh

    Them again !?

    [–] deacon@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

    I genuinely thought for a second it was some heretofore unknown to me Linux build that evoked that horrible windows UI

    [–] YeahToast@aussie.zone 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    That's a wild fucking username.

    [–] Alvaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 day ago

    First time seeing it?

    [–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    It is. OP does that often.

    I don't think it counts as ragebait on the Linux memes community

    "All"

    Um... did you mean "each"?

    I said what I said.

    You mean you multi-boot, run one at a time?

    No.

    It would have been funnier if it was Asahi instead of Ubuntu.

    [–] Bullerfar@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    No, then they would have noticed a performance boost.

    My late intel MacBook has:

    MacOS - Windows 10 - Linux

    It’s RARE I use win/Mac but it’s great for that once every few months that I need to run some specific tool.

    Open up a VM and run Red Star OS, that should be a lot faster than Ubuntu

    I’m running Arch Linux on my MacBook Pro 2014, and it’s so snappy with SwayWM, I don’t see any need for any newer hardware.

    [–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (3 children)

    I’m running BSD on my macbook. It’s solid AF.

    [–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Glad to hear it didn't turn your macbook soft or even, god forbid, liquid.

    [–] fartsparkles@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    KDE turned my MacBook plasma!

    [–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

    KDE Liquid is also a thing.

    [–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Since the XNU kernel is part Mach, part OSFMK, and part FreeBSD, all NeXT machines and all Macs made since the 2000s run BSD.

    Yeah, I think that’s what OP is alluding to. I don’t think pure BSDs like Free or Open have much driver support for Apple hardware. It’s already enough of a problem with Linux support.
