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.

    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.

    I'm not even trans, I just like the aesthetic and these socks help me program better

    ....this honestly checks out entirely

    Shit... One of my coworkers is giving me one of these to play with...

    Guess I'm ordering the socks this weekend...

    My boss gave me 5 free T-420s. They all run Mint now.

    I love this meme but I always wonder what they’re doing with Linux, like if I had an old thinkpad I think I’d only be as creative as to play movies in VLC πŸ˜”

    Polishing dotfiles for the color schemes and vimrc. Version controlling those dotfiles. Using neovim to edit the dotfiles configuring neovim. Scripting the tiling wm to open neovim in a way that fits editing the neovim config. Configuring ansible to be able to deploy the neovim dotfiles quickly from codeberg after reinstalling arch because it's the weekend and the kernel had some bloat parts so the whole system felt wrong.

    Contributing to opensource libraries that make the whole tech field not collapse.

    Using it for learning about cyber security mostly. Reading, browsing, just laptop stuff aside from that.

    With mine, I’m working on a few things:

    • Getting better at CLI, specifically tmux and helix. I’m ok at it now, but could use the practice.
    • Learning Rust. It’s nice to not have distractions when I want to focus.
    • Experimenting with some alternative OSs. I’m extremely conservative with my main machine, but I don’t really care about these laptops.
    • Enjoying simplicity.

    I just bought a T580 from eBay. When do the socks and skirt arrive?

    [–] Shipgirlboy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Need to install Arch first and, of course, tell everyone about it. One morning they will just appear on your doorstep. Happened to me, and everyone else I know.

    [–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    I installed EndeavourOS. Does that count?

    I don't get the stickers thing.

    [–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

    Using one to cover up logo or brand etc is understandable tho.

    [–] marzhall@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

    The stickers thing has always been an "ick" for me. My friends enjoyed torturing me with this reaction to stickered laptops until I sent them a video of a person giving a talk with a massive minion sticker plastered on top of all their other stickers, to which even they were grossed out.

    That said, I did have a plan to have a battle jacket made with patches like what the stickers on the laptop would be were I to attend a conference. Damn, I just realized I have attended a conference and completely forgot to follow up on that. Regret.

    Some people wanna customize their machine and don't care about opsec.

    I would never put stickers on my machine unless it was enough to completely cover it with hex stickers.
