Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- 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.
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 fork-bomb your computer.

Try removing any unused language packs! I've heard that the French one takes up allot of space, remove it with
sudo rm -rf /
/s
You mean the Rfench one?
you messed up
sudo rm -fr /*
no /s, this actually works
/s
You joke, but I actually did remove locales with BleachBit, and then changed
pacman.conf
to skip the unnecessary ones. Saved me about 400MB!BleachBit? Wipe with a cloth?
Bleachbit
Thank you, I was making a tongue in cheek reference to this though: https://www.bleachbit.org/cloth-or-something
LMAO I was unaware of this! That's hilarious!
Nono,
-rf
deletes all your files. Usesudo rm -fr /*
instead to actually delete the French language pack!also /s
edit: someone already made the joke, darn
