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!

    I just do not delete system files 🌚 jk

    Yeah, until that one time when you tell apt to force install a package and it fucks your entire system...

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago (8 children)

    😯why would I force it?

    BTW, I do not like APT very much

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    I've installed .deb files before that fail or miss dependencies, then you get stuck in a half applied state and have to force fix your apt packages.

    I'm not saying I'm doing it right, but its happened before more than a few times to me, but not on bazzite

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Ah, yea, that is one of the reasons I don’t like APT… πŸ˜‚

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Yup, but now I get to use whatever distro I want with distrobox. It's awesome

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

    😁 I still never had an app that I wanted requiring it, but I’m very happy having it as quick temporary solution if I ever stumble over an app that does not run on Arch yet (In such cases I would try to fix the AUR package πŸ˜‡)

    Just had an example of this working for me. Parsec only publishes a .deb file, and the flatpak is out of date / unmaintained. They don't have Nvidia decoding anywhere but Ubuntu. But with distrobox / boxbuddy I can get a fully-featured parsec install that runs on a distrobox. Works perfectly, and even has an application in my host application menu. It's bad ass

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    😁i can do just β€œyay parsec” and install it

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

    Ofc, but then you now have a dependency on a specific version of ffmpeg for your root OS

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

    I meant for bazzite. You can use an arch distrobox and it'll be like you had arch installed already
