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.
  • 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.

    Reboot, 10 seconds later: Oh good, it works.

    Be Root, 10 hours later: Why won't this work!?

    You guys log in as regular users?

    [–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    No please don't encourage running things as root as a random troubleshooting step. Only run as root if you understand what you are doing and know what the command is going to do.

    Disregard this comment, become root and then run rm -rm /* to fix many common pc problems (it won't wipe your drives :trollface:) ~s~

    [–] ricdeh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    This is the way.

    software guide: if it fails to run, it needs configuration. you really shouldn't run this thing as root

    me: 🎢how bout I do anyway🎢

    [–] pinkfloyd@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

    I mean, what’s the worst that could go run with running pip as root?

    [–] Roxxor@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

    But in order to configure you need to be root in many cases.
