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.
  • 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.

    Man, wait until these people hear about the filesystem and kernel.

    [–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 63 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    The very existence of a defined kernel is an insult to the Linux philosophy

    [–] psud@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

    The Linux kernel (the part that gives Linux the name) is antithetical to Linux philosophy? I could understand it being contrary to GNU philosophy

    yes mr stallman

    Does it ? I thought it was never completed !

    On the other hand, if you want a microkernel that does exist, there’s Mach. But I don’t think you can replace Linux with it πŸ˜†

    It's been two years away for the last 30 years.

    [–] psud@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah, there's a Debian implementation of GNU/hurd. Debian recommend you run it in a VM

    [–] rmuk@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago

    I won't bother. Sounds like hurd work.

    [–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

    Hurd is supposed to work with GNU mach afaik

    In some ways I think the filesystem is philosophically the exact opposite of systemd


    I can boot my system with an ext4 root, with a btrfs /home...or vice versa. Or add some ZFS, or whatever. The filesystem is (with the exception of some special backup schemes) largely independent of the rest of the system, despite being of core importance.

    On the other hand, I can't change my init system (i.e., systemd) without serious, serious work.
