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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 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.

    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.

    Fedora user wearing Fedora. Might be a little on the nose.

    I came to say excactly that.

    [–] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 1 points 49 minutes ago

    1995 was 10 years ago right?

    [–] Johanno@feddit.org 4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

    As always people forget glorious Nixos

    [–] GlowingDeer@infosec.pub 2 points 1 hour ago

    And the even more glorious, guix

    I think we NixOS users get grouped in with Arch. Same socks, different colors.

    [–] SlippiHUD@slrpnk.net 11 points 3 hours ago

    As a Linux Mint Debian Edition user. I guess I'm just Benjamin Button.

    [–] EffortlessGrace@piefed.social 8 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

    Me, running CachyOS, and eschewing the socks:

    [–] DragonOracleIX@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

    Hell yeah! Programming socks are overrated.

    Give it time...

    It's lonely out there being an arch user and a butch dyke πŸ˜”

    [–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

    Yeah, well I'm a Mint baby. I have to rely on the Debian users to take me to a Mint baby playdate.

    It's upsetting. Maybe I'll go cry about it...

    [–] atk007@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    Yup, as a Debian user I feel this old and the only person I personally know, who have transitioned is an Arch user.

    [–] Auli@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 hours ago

    I just switched to debian after the last AUR issues.

    [–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

    I went from Ubuntu to Bazzite (OpenSUSE was my first choice, but there was a weird error trying to get it running and installed). Since Bazzite is basically Fedora... Should I get myself a hat?

    [–] BlindPenguin@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

    Arch is what i want to be, openSuse is who i am.

    [–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 points 6 hours ago

    Can confirm. I'm an Ubuntu child and soon going to become a Debian old man.

    [–] dawcas@scribe.disroot.org 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

    I can confirm I feel as old as the debian pic.

    [–] Magnum@infosec.pub 8 points 7 hours ago

    Why is everyone always saying I am old and boring. I am not on Slackware????

    [–] Reygle@lemmy.world 25 points 10 hours ago

    Weird. Just turned 47 and I JUST tried Debian tonight.

    So far it's very good.

    Get off my lawn

    Debian user here. I want to switch to arch but dont want to troubleshoot my pc after each update. How do u folks deal with that?

    [–] DragonOracleIX@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 hour ago

    I rarely have to troubleshoot. The only issues I've run into lately is the package manager (pacman) refusing to download an updated package. Refreshing the mirrors or a quick internet search is usually enough to fix that.

    From my experience, the only times troubleshooting is needed is if you tinker with things or use programs outside of the package manager.

    [–] Auli@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

    It isn't an issue. I just left Arch because the AUR seems to be imploding. And without it Arch looses one of its big advantages.

    [–] davici@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

    I update weekly ish and very rarely have issues. And if I do it's the usual suspects hyprland, pw, proton and video drivers.

    You can either lock these and make them not update as frequently or use more stable software instead.

    I personally like the troubleshooting because it means I'm learning something so that helps.
