  • 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.

    Does Unraid count? It's based on Slackware and I'm adding a few extra Slackware packages.

    [–] 9point6@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

    Unraid is kinda slackware in a straightjacket

    I remember using slapt-get when I used Slackware and that alleviated most of this sort of issue. Is that not still a thing?

    Slackware was my first distro coming from Windows. I would get so frustrated when I wanted to install some software and I had to download it, open the cli, run some commands, check for dependencies, etc. I thought it was completely idiotic. Why couldn't you just click on the file and install it. I thought, "no wonder no one uses Linux."

    Then a friend showed me slapt install, slapt update, and slapt upgrade. It was absolutely amazing. I wondered why Windows was so far behind.

    Running Slackware as your daily is great for learning about linux.

    Although I haven't used it in about 12 years. Is it still like this?

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 months ago

    I think Slackware has not changed much

    [–] JoMomma@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

    Ports?

    [–] jaybone@lemmy.world -4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Surprised this isn’t an ubuntu meme, with how much Lemmy hates that distro.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    It is not entirely unjustified

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

    And not just Lemmy, most of the Linux user base.
