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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • 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.
  •  

    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.

    Would Tails go in cool and good or schizo?

    [–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 points 6 days ago

    Wait, what?

    Why is Gentoo top and schizo? ... And why's artix, openbsd, and slackware in schizo too? ... TemplOS, obviously. But why did the others get misplaced there?

    Makes me all the more want to install CRUX, ~ an idea I toyed with yesterday. Where would CRUX go on this tier list?

    ::: spoiler PS, btw: Bedrock with Artix, Devuan, Gentoo & Void.

    ... My OS has split personality, hears many voices of different package managers.

    EEeeeeeeheheheheheheheh. (* )~u~( *)

    MacOS is worlds better than Windows, it's not even close.

    [–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 points 6 days ago

    Both got the deal with the devil clauses in their end user agreements, right? That's bad enough it does not even matter who's better or worse after that. That's already bad enough to not be fit to use.

    Hell, Mac OS is even a certified UNIX operating system, something that even Linux (or GNU+Linux) can't say.

    It's still a non-FOSS OS which is the real reason it sucks, but it's a lot better than a lot of people seem to think. Whereas Windows just plain sucks on a usability level too, not just the licensing.

    Kali Linux as Chad OS suggests this list is as much meme as truth so I wouldn’t worry about the rankings.

    Is that GNU at the bottom? If so, bro, this dude don't get it.

    [–] waigl@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (6 children)

    Have you tried to actually use GNU/Hurd?

    [–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 points 6 days ago

    I have.

    It was fine.

    This was way back around 2014 iirc.

    [–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    Yeah, that's why it belongs next to Arch

    Guys, MacOS isn’t everybody’s taste, especially now. But it does do what it’s trying to do. Windows isn’t succeeding at anything it’s trying to do.

    Is that X OSX? They renamed it back to MacOS.

    [–] otacon239@lemmy.world 62 points 1 week ago (14 children)

    On top of that, putting it below Windows? This is clearly someone who’s never used one or thinks gaming is the only thing you do on a computer. I’m all for Linux and use it in several places, but it has nothing on MacOS polish. Sure, it’s not perfect, but it’s a far cry from ChromeOS or Windows 11.
