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.

    This doesn’t look like Arch.

    [–] renegadespork@lemmy.jelliefrontier.net 67 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

    Debian users will eventually tell everyone, but it’ll take 2 years before they see the question.

    [–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 29 points 4 weeks ago

    Gentoo users would too, but their social skills are still compiling

    My first lemmy account was on an instance called iusearchlinux.fyi then it just disappeared suddenly and without explanation (admin probably burnt out). Anyway, it was nice to be able to tell people i use arch linux without actually having to tell them. I miss that instance

    [–] mech@feddit.org 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    The server it ran on crashed after an update, and the wiki doesn't mention recovery of a lemmy instance.

    [–] promitheas@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks ago

    I tried it but TF2 wouldn't launch so I switched to Ubuntu.

    If a user doesn’t learn how to manage nvidia proprietary drivers on arch, they probably are in a better home at ubuntu

    Assuming that this was the problem…

    [–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

    I installed TF2 on a Mac with only integrated graphics in college and played a ten to twelve FPS slideshow for years.

    It was Debian as well.

    [–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

    I've been playing it on and off since launch and never got less than 60fps πŸ˜…, but generally around 120fps as I had a 3d vision monitor(that didn't work so well in source games though iirc).

    didn't get as far as seeing a framerate in arch, couldn't work out why it wasn't working and gave up πŸ˜…

    haven't checked my framerate in Ubuntu but felt like about 144 or something like that

    [–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 19 points 4 weeks ago

    If I was getting programmer socks in exchange for my personal data I wouldn't care so much about privacy.

    The first rule of Linux is you talk about Linux. The second rule of Linux is do talk about Linux.

    [–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

    1st rule of Kernel club is you talk about Linux. 2nd rule of kernel club is you never talk about gnu

    Q: A crossfit trainer, a vegetarian, and a Baptist Christian walk into a bar. How do we know?

    What does a crossfitting, vegan, Arch user talk about first?

    They probably have a Tshirt

    That's because these are GUI users, the real TOS is written in an arcane format only viewable by a cat or a bat.

    As a mint Enlightenment user I can only sneer at these plebes.

    Enlightenmint was just sitting there

    [–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

    Every time I have to, I have an inexplicable rage that appears deep within me that goes away as soon as I don't have to deal with it anymore.

    This is hilarious 🀣

    [–] sonofearth@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

    I use Arch BTW β€” just in case if Arch has that in their terms.

    [–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 weeks ago

    Seems very reasonable.

    [–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

    I don't tell EVERYONE. I just tell my coworkers and friends...

    You have family, neighbors, people in the parking lot that you are obligated to share your wisdom with
