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. 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.

    With that, I'm starting a contest (the prize is the honor of being texted by me that you won):

    Guess how much it will take me to break the system beyond repair. I will deliberately do stupid things such as using random niche bootloaders, bcachefs and whatever else is suggested in comments.

    If I can't break the system in like 2 weeks, I'm installing that NixOS config regardless of this challenge.

    Yep, that's it. Thanks for participation and don't break your system.

    Edit: I'm not going with bcachefs. Thanks Linus

    Install sway on it as an added difficulty; you can modify your config as you see fit to improve your experience.

    nah go with DWL or DWM with several patches. use ST and dmenu and patch those too. Patch the bar several times then try to add systray.

    Sway isn't even that unstable. I want to use plasma devel/git/whatever is the newest, because I want to check a few things.

    Is using cosmic too easy to make it unstable? ;)

    [–] garbage_world@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

    Cosmic... I might reconsider my initial choice

    [–] bluesquid0741b@aussie.zone 2 points 8 hours ago

    I've been daily driving cosmic for 6 months and it's worked great. I guess if you're trying unconventional stuff you might get into breaking it, but otherwise you'll just find some minor annoyances.
