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.

    Ha. You want STABLE, use NixOS.

    If you're cannot parse the configuration file, you don't update. It is perfectly, 100% stable, about 60% of the time (when I change my config file without an error).

    nixOS appeals to niche audiences who like to brag about it. I think it is not a good idea to base everything on config files, since there is a lot of room for user error

    [–] Zozano@lemy.lol 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    The config files literally won't compile if there is an incompatibility or error in the code.

    Also, every distro has an audience who love to brag about it. The worst part of being a Nix user is I can no longer say "Arch BTW".

    Oh you don't use arch? Don't worry bud you'll get there some day.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 months ago

    Not to mention it is a utter pain in the ass.

    With that being said, if just the package manager was a config file and there was a reasonable CLI then I could get on board.

    You've literally described Linux. Wasn't even a week ago we had a circle jerk on here about how great it is that everything on Linux is an ascii file (technically inaccurate on most distros) rather than a nasty nasty database where the most you can fuck up at a time is a single entry vs breaking the schema of an entire file.
