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 members of the community for any reason.
  • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Ubuntu LTS

    Is the best all around Linux OS today for most users.

    This thread is too positive. Thought I'd give you something to downvote. ๐Ÿฆž๐Ÿซ

    Why? What you need that isn't in ubuntu repos?

    It was a joke based on the fact that Canonical's snaps are sort of a kink for some people and when some people with kinks have sex, they want their partner to slap them, so they ask in a polite way while they refer to said partner as "daddy", so it was, more or less, a wordplay on how the words "snap" and "slap" sound similar...
    IDK, dude I don't even use Ubuntu, just try not to be the lobster in the picture โœŒ๏ธ

    I appreciate your sacrifice!

    I mean you're probably not wrong?

    I'll never be super interested in the LTS stuff. I love poking the "cutting" (but not bleeding) edge stuff. I don't mind reinstalling now and then if things go south in a big way

    I'm using Debian-testing by using Ubuntu LTS. ๐Ÿฅฒ

    [โ€“] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

    Debian-oldstable is the one for me. All y'all can go ahead and test things for me.

    You're not wrong. I use a lot of niche tools in my work, which often means cloning from git, modifying the code, dealing with dependencies(recursively sometimes) and building from scratch, which works 90% of the time, but when you find a tool that works exactly as needed and all it takes is an 'apt get install', that just makes my day.
