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.
    •

    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've only ever used linux for servers as a web dev but friday i decided to erase windows on my laptop and install mint and i'm basically obsessed now (the best part is how updates just happen but they don't restart your computer randomly when you don't ask)

    [–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Everything seems to be pretty plug and play flawless on mint. With the exception of some not so good kernels the last 2 updates resulting in little hiccups on steam. Everything else is polished and great.

    i think the only thing i found that doesn't have an equivalent is google drive (which mounts as a drive on windows and streams files) :(

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

    You can mount Google drive (even better, Koofr) in Linux.

    does that use space on your drive? the thing i liked in windows was it just streamed the files so I didn't need all the space available (my full drive is like 400gb)

    [–] choutos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    It doesn't. You can mount it as a network drive.

    [–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

    oooh great, that was my main concern! (i didn't want to try it and then end up filling up my hdd)

    [–] 0xD@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Unless it's a kernel update!

    [–] KernelTale 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    It only asks you to restart?

    [–] 0xD@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    Yes? I was just trying to provide information.
