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.

    I use guix cause having an entire OS centered around Scheme is cool and based.

    Wearing out the parentheses keys on my keyboard

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Cool, though mileage will vary considering guix is linux-libre

    [–] greywolf0x1@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    You can use non-guix

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

    I can and do, of course!

    The point was only about guix

    Or do you mean I can change kernel to non-libre?

    [–] Baleine@jlai.lu 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Yes, just like with many distros you can add external repositories. Nonguix is a repository with non-free software like the linux kernel and binary firmware

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Will check out, thank you!

    [–] WalnutLum@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

    Figured a link would help: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix

    Ignore the weird wording about not promoting it on the page, it's just a warning to keep people from complaining about the nonguix packages to the guix devs, but there's lots of crossover

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 1 points 9 months ago

    Thanks!

    Genuinely appreciated.

    Do you happen to know if KDE is already available there?

    [–] WalnutLum@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)
    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    What's the difference? You mean a DE is available but not the base software?

    [–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Wasn't it something like, KDE was the distro and desktop name but now the desktop is Plasma?

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

    The distro is KDE Neon

    The desktop is KDE Plasma, or Plasma for short

    [–] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Unless I'm missing something, Plasma is the KDE desktop, there isn't a separate desktop environment just called KDE... In fact, it's full name is KDE Plasma, it's just frequently shortened to either KDE or Plasma

    [–] WalnutLum@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

    KDE separated out into Plasma and the utilities and apps separately at KDE 5. Previously it was all one package, so there is a bit of a confusing distinction.
