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 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!

    Installing OS, 10 years ago:

    Windows: click a couple of buttons enter username and password

    Linux: Terminal hacking, downloading shell scripts from github

    Installing OS today:

    Linux: click a couple of buttons, enter username and password

    Windows: Terminal hacking, downloading shell scripts from github.

    I remember 2014 being pretty easy to install Linux. Windows 7 and 10 were also pretty easy then.

    Haha, you're so silly! The meme says 10 years ago and not— …

    My god, it really has been ten years since 2014, hasn't it?

    If Back to the Future was made today, Marty would have traveled back to 1994.

    I think you mean "Great Scot!"

    [–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 7 points 3 months ago

    It was "Great Scott!" but the DeLorean smashed through the second "t" in the past. 🌲🌲

    2004 was twenty years ago :|

    2004 is when we got Ubuntu, and if I recall correctly Mandrake was also rather easy to install.

    Tbh I would rather use Debian, I use Debian today and if I knew about Debian back then I would be using it

    I remember breaking my Ubuntu install a bunch of times when trying to install nvidia drivers and flash player to watch YouTube.

    I was breaking redhat and fedora trying to install wifi drivers for pcmcia wifi cards. So much modprobe. That’s why I switched to Ubuntu.
