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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Gentoo is the final boss of Linux installs. (Linux From Scratch is the raid boss)

    I installed it last year. After watching it compile for half an hour, I decided that a source-based distro was something I have no interest in daily-driving.

    I've been daily driving Gentoo for 15+ years, and even I can't tackle that raid boss

    I think someday I’ll do a gauntlet of Linux installs back to back. Start easy: Ubuntu - Debian - Arch - Nixos - Gentoo - LFS. Not sure if I put Nixos right though. Tbf I’ve already done Debian so maybe I’ll start with Arch.
