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.
    •  

    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 is why you have to switch to more and more difficult distros over time, to keep yourself on your toes

    Me going from Mint to Ubuntu to Kubuntu to Neon to Arch. My experience with the Arch installation process is just the command shutdown

    Someday I'll be comfortable enough with this nerd shit to trust myself with unsupervised access to a CLI. Until then I'm happy just knowing what a DE is

    next step is nixos! holy fuck transitioning from arch to nixos was hell, i did like 10 years of arch.

    Or Gentoo? I haven't used nixos yet so cant speak on it but Gentoo has been awesome to tinker and learn with.

    [–] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I think nixos is harder than gentoo, plus you can do all the gentoo compile from source stuff on nixos

    Genuinely curious cause i don't know much nixos, does it support an equivalent to USE flags or slots?

    [–] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

    I don't know much about gentoo, but use flags sound a lot like overlays to me, but like I said, i'm not familiar with gentoo.

    nixos allows the install of various versions of software by default so slots are definitely a thing. It's one of the main things nix wanted to fix.

    I ended up installing the nox package manager on my gentoo machine, and it's been useful so far. Got some packages installed that aren't in the native Gentoo repo
