  • 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.

    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.

    I love the original pic, do you have it?

    No, sorry. I found this meme as is.

    Found it.

    The cat is edited in the image with penguins. If you need, I can try to find the cat only too, I have seen the standing cat image too, somewhere.

    Linux Mint is the gateway penguin.

    even by just becoming a linux user, you are helping making it more mainstream

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

    Next month will be two years in Mint exclusively. I have no complaints.

    Well, I do miss the big preview window in File Explorer, but otherwise, I'm happy to be rid of Windows.

    Me but with Kubuntu instead of mint

    If you have any problems with Blueman not letting Bluetooth controllers work, install KDE system settings. Don't know why that works but it does.

    [–] Peluri96@feddit.org 4 points 13 hours ago

    I will try that out. I usually directly go terminal

    [–] alexquiniou@lemmy.zip 6 points 15 hours ago

    Me who just have install Ubuntu.

    Unless you're playing with your OS, than being vanilla is what you want.

    At the end of the day for new and casual users, support wins. Ubuntu has the largest community of support, making Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu while having a more elegant variety of UI, making it a good compromise. Good choice.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Mint Debian based these days?

    [–] MasterNerd@lemmy.zip 3 points 12 hours ago

    Regular Mint is based off of Ubuntu, which is Debian based itself. However, it is somewhat beholden to the Ubuntu way of doing things.

    They do have a version that uses a plain Debian base, so they're not reliant on Canonical. That version is LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition).

    [–] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 4 points 13 hours ago

    Ubuntu is Debian based, so yes.

    i thougt its both, because they have a debian version

    [–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

    I also use "Script kiddie Arch", BTW.

    Lmao my dumbass can’t use regular arch

    Y'all's, I don't want to tinker with my OS. I don't wanna think about my OS. I just want my OS to work, mind it's fucking business and leave me alone.

    [–] IratePirate@feddit.org 1 points 11 hours ago

    This. That's why I have stuck with Mint for almost a decade now. It's the perfect workhorse: it fits my workflow, is stable as heck, just quietly does what it needs to do and gets out of my way the rest of the time. Hence, I don't see why I should switch to anything else.

    [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 15 hours ago

    Bazzite has pretty much been this for me for the past couple years

    [–] redsand@infosec.pub 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    May I introduce you to OpenBSD? Where uptime is measured in years.

    [–] trackball_fetish@lemmy.wtf 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    No, the devil's OS is FreeBSD

    [–] rbos@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 day ago

    That's exactly why I run Linux. If you want something that just keeps running the basically the same way for like 20 years, that's your option.

    welcome in the cat friendly penguin group

    [–] 33550336@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago (23 children)

    I have the Mint (it's fucking good) and no need nor ambition for any other system. Especially an elitist shit which break after an upgrade.
