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

    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.

    Linux users just watching the chaos like it’s a movie 🍿

    [–] cockmushroom@reddthat.com 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

    Today i had a segfault that basically froze my entire machine. I was just running some downloads and browsing and all of a sudden i couldn't open, minimize, raise, or close anything.

    [–] semperverus@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

    Thanks for letting us know

    until the age verification brick hits you in the head

    [–] 1984@lemmy.today 7 points 21 hours ago

    I will not use those services. I think im willing to give up any service except email. And if Im forced, I guess I will identify for email since its critical to have. But its all ridiculous and part of building dystopia.

    And "Age verification"

    And "Telemetry"

    [–] tristynalxander@mander.xyz 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    It's wild that ~~people~~ politicians think they're going to legislate linux into age verification -- as if the community isn't half DIY techies who'd sooner set up shop in international waters than change their preferred settings.

    [–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 5 points 19 hours ago

    LOL telling the people who created the Darknet that you're going to control what they do with their computers

    Talk to your PC is basically what cortana was

    [–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 22 hours ago

    I'm still salty that they killed Cortana. For the short period between being released full-featured and MS gimping it hard in my region, it was the best assistant out of the bunch, by far.

    All they had to do was add the option to add the capabilities of Copilot to the existing system and they'd have an actually killer feature.

    [–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 26 points 1 day ago

    I do feel sorry for them, but they can only lift themselves up. I can't really do anything to help. Linux has never been easier to set up than today. But it will always be a bit of a hurdle to make the switch.

    Talk to your PC is just going to be Denholm Reynholm from IT Crowd.

    How it started

    How it's going

    Hello? Hello computer! Hello?!

    [–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago (16 children)

    I am very pro Linux and have been trying to migrate all my system but I got to say:

    I installed windows 11 LTSC and disabled automatic updates, it’s not good but it’s also not this bad.

    If your wondering why, pirating games isn’t very seamless on Linux yet,

    [–] Neps@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 14 hours ago

    That last statement couldn't be anymore wrong wow

    Why would we pirate games when we have SuperTuxKart?

    [–] versionc@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (6 children)

    Huh? Linux is the gold standard for running pirated games, mainly because of flatpaks and its sandboxing capabilities. The games won't have access to your filesystem and you can disable network access. Installing the games is as easy on Heroic as it is on Windows.
