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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • 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.
    •

    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.

    Red hat does after 9?

    RHEL never did to install it. To get any updates though, you have to provide a contract number.

    Edit: 10 might be different, but I don't think it would be.

    That’s right, you pay for support not the binaries and the source code is free under GPL.

    Not certain, I haven't installed red hat in several years.

    [–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I started Linux with a physical copy of redhat 5.2 in 2000.

    I had an old friend who busted his ass to educate me on computers when I was a kid and I will be forever thankful to him.

    For me, my first exposure to Linux was around that same time, but with SuSE. It's still my go-to distro, even though I've installed and used dozens of different ones. Compiling Gentoo over a weekend is a fun experience at least once.

    [–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I think I used gentoo years ago. Is that the one that builds and downloads as you install? I’m getting old, it’s been years and I remember a distro that was making headlines with something like that years ago.

    My go-to distro for a long time was Mandrake, which became Mandriva. I have no idea what’s going on with that one now.

    I’ve been using SteamOS and EndeavourOS recently.

    Yeah, Gentoo builds everything from source. Supposed to make it faster, but I didn't notice enough of a difference to make it worth my while.
