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.

    But I don't want to tell anyone. I just want to fiddle with things and people not asking what I'm doing, as I asnwer just waving my hands in the air (mostly because I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing)

    Why couldn’t just tell people that you use linux an*way?

    [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    mostly... I tell people who are using linux that I use linux, too.

    The sudden moment of awkwardness when you realize they're using ubuntu and might run back to microcrap because you came on to strong is real.

    [–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 17 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    Hi - I'm a Linux newbie.

    I don't tell other Linux users that I use linux because it almost always leads to a bunch of questions that I don't know the answer to. So let me assure you, that awkwardness is on both sides of that conversation you're describing.

    [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

    I promise... it's just enthusiasm!

    even the linux-from-scratch snobs are usually pretty decent (really it's only when it's their first time out of the server room in too-long a time). I usually try to switch it up to something like "have you tried playing The Battle for Wesnoth. (it's a turn based fantasy strategy game that's... uhm. surprisingly good.)

    [–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

    I've been on both sides I still tell people and inquire about it when I spot it in the wild.

    [–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Anusway?

    [–] cheddar@programming.dev 7 points 9 months ago

    This is the way.

    [–] 4oreman@lemy.lol 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Is this real?

    [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    No, it's a comic.

    [–] 4oreman@lemy.lol 5 points 9 months ago

    I believe.

    [–] HarmlessCake@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 months ago

    Then everybody will just argue what's the best distro/desktop environment/kernel etc. instead xD
