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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 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.

    I think you mean GNU/Linux

    [–] [email protected] 88 points 5 days ago (6 children)

    Look Richard no matter how many times you post this, no-one is going to start calling it GNU/Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 64 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    In fact, systemd is arguable a more important component covering more aspects of system function in a lot of distributions: home mounting, boot process, logging, init, cron... I'm going to start calling it systemd/Linux, just to mess with Stallman.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

    Uh no, it's not. GNU has been integral to the GNU/Linux project for years. Without GCC, coreutils, glibc, there would be no linux distributions. Systemd has not played the same role.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    But now we have systemd so GNU can get fucked, bitch.

    systemd is an init system and just has not played the same role in the development of GNU/Linux distributions like GNU has. before systemd there was sysvinit, and there are number of alternate init systems. It's not about system functionality that we name operating systems.

    You're an init system and just has not played the same role in the development of GNU/Linux distributions like GNU has.

    Still tho, gnu can suck my cock

    [–] targetx 1 points 4 days ago

    If it could I'm sure a lot more people would be willing to call it GNU/Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    Chimera Linux, Linux with the BSD user-space. No GNU.

    No systemd, either, so double-bonus.

    It's proprietary so, no thanks.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

    Proprietary? Wherever did you get that idea?

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

    Debian GNU/Linux has been called Debian GNU/Linux since at least 1997 https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1997/msg00013.html

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

    well actually I've taken to calling it "GNU+Linux"

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    People actually do call it gnu/linux semi-often, dunno why.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    I almost always do it facetiously and for meme purposes.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

    That's always how it starts...

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

    sucks to suck your grub bootloader calls it gnulinux

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

    Shh, don't tell anyone.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

    I ise systemd-boot

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

    It's already started.
