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 want to install Linux on a Vacuum cleaner, which sucks the most?

    Nix-OS. Nix translates to "nichts" in german, which translates to "nothing" in english. A vacuum creates sucktion force.

    Also I get endless error messages sometimes, when I run nixos rebuild switch --upgrade, that sucks in a metaphorical sense, I need to modify the versions of programs I install.

    NixOS does suck me into the occasional rabbit hole - nothing like Gentoo years ago though!

    Whoa, whoa, there are people who don't like Windows? I thought Windows was like the king of operating systems?

    Oracle linux, just tell them your carpet has an unlicensed database.

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    I was invited to a user group where oracle Linux was trying to get more adopters. The coolest thing they had was the ability to update a kernel driver while it was running. In place. Without downtime.

    I asked them if they planned on pushing this improvement to the kernel devs and they just gave me a blank face.

    Told me everything I needed to know about Oracle Linux. I promptly formatted the thumb drive they gave me for free.

    If they released it for free then Ubuntu wouldn't have Ubuntu Pro to sell subscriptions to.

    Is it actually sucky? I think I installed that once, but I didn't use that laptop much.

    Guys we forgot to automatically update the let's encrypt certificate of our repos. In the mean time, just set the date on your machine to last week.

    All of them except Hannah Montana Linux, which is the One True Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    TempleOS is the one TRUE OS

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

    TempleOS is God's chosen OS, but I don't live at church. I use TempleOS to pray, and Hannah Montana Linux for personal tasks. That way I get the best of both worlds.

    Damn I really can't argue with that. The developer is a prick

    It'll randomly doze off whenever you don't look at it for 5 seconds, tho.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

    I'd say Manjaro but they'd probably DDOS your vacuum on accident.

    Installing on my fridge. Which one is the coolest?

    [–] RandomVideos 3 points 1 week ago

    TempleOS

    Be careful to not store any water in there

    Similar to a joke my dad told in the 90's

    If Microsoft ever makes a product that doesn't suck, it'll be a vacuum cleaner.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

    Your dad is a great dadjoker!

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

    Apparently it's Athena Linux. At least, that's what the hackable vacuums use.

    This website is great xD

    most honest privacy policy.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Is there even a place on the website that asks for that information?

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

    Yes, you get an email containing a link to your download when the requested build is done.

    This guy actually built an automated builder so people can easily request tailored images for their robots which is super cool.

    Ironically it's probably Suckless.

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

    Is suckless a distro? I thought it was just a collection of software

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    What is a distro but a collection of software?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

    Distros probably have a kernel though

    [–] RandomVideos 6 points 1 week ago

    Does windows for linux count?

    If not, maybe azure linux

    Maybe ubuntu since its recommended by microsoft

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

    There was a Windows tablet I bought for PDFs only. It ran some terrible Windows 8 lite version. That would easily be the worst Linux distro.

    ... My vacuum actually does run Linux.

    !It's a roborock with Valetudo installed so it doesn't need internet access!<

    After spending a bit of time today debugging a systemd issue I can start to sympathise with this. Not come across or really looked for viable alternatives that aren't just a return to random bash init scripts though.
