1. Follow the site-wide rules

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.
  • 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

    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 remove France.

    Shouldn't it be debian doing all the heavy lifting?

    [–] eli@lemmings.world 46 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

    Right lol totally backwards, spotting is easy

    [–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

    Yes and no. Would make sense in os point of view, but not in the gym spotting sense

    Isn't basically all server space some Ubuntu variant?

    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.

    [–] leisesprecher@feddit.org 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    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 months 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.

    [–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months 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.

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

    I would sure hope not

    [–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

    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.

    gotta cut out them snaps and telemetry from your diet.

    sadly its more than that friend: https://github.com/gp187/Ubuntu-Privacy-Fix/blob/master/ubuntu_secure.sh

    encourage canonical to do better ; we deserve it.

    I have to ask, when was the last time you even looked at a screenshot of Ubuntu? That script is from the Unity era. The first lines remove a shopping lense. Not a thing since 2016. And even if it was still somehow valid which it's not, it's mostly hardening the OS. Yes, stock Ubuntu is not an impenetrable fortress. No distro is.

    Also the stupid script removes a local logging service which is not used anymore either, but here's a thread about it https://askubuntu.com/questions/180990/what-is-zeitgeist-used-for

    [–] 4oreman@lemy.lol -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    ok but all the other telemetry in the script is still there
