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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, 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.

    Isn't basically all server space some Ubuntu variant?

    LMAO, no.

    [–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

    Thank you for your witty and concise answer!

    Downvotes like this is why I'm hating lemmy. OP asks an honest question:

    Nerds: FUCK YOU!

    Yes, the majority of servers are Linux, and yes, most are Debian, of which Ubuntu is a variant.

    [–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

    I would consider downvotes one way of saying no without needing to go through a bunch of effort typing out a reply that will recieve the equivalent upvotes.

    I wouldn't say that.

    RHEL/Centos/Alma and their derivates are very popular in enterprise contexts. Unless you count docker images based on Debian, I've literally never seen a non-RPM based distro being used by the companies I worked for.

    Redhat isn't worth billions without a reason.

    I've run across Ubuntu in the wild once and I don't work in tech - I was in Target and one of the self checkout machines was Ubuntu having a kernel panic.

    [–] leisesprecher@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

    I didn't say Ubuntu isn't used, but it's by far not as clear cut as the previous comment made it look.

    [–] tdawg@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

    What a mood. People wonder why the Linux community didn't hit mainstream years ago

    Thanks for giving a reasonable response

    [–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 11 points 2 days ago

    I would sure hope not

    Until late 2023 the hoster of one of our customers used Gentoo on its web and DB servers. I was surprised when i found out. They switched everything to docker later and i have no idea what it is now.
