  • 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.

    Man, this infographic is like, EXACTLY why people are scared of Linux, lol.

    It has a lot of good info but it's just so overloaded. Can't decide what story it wants to tell so it tells like 7 of them.

    Long ago, I used Debian on my main PC but decided to go with Ubuntu on the laptop because it was easy to set up.

    Later I switched to Debian on the laptop, too, because ultimately I felt Ubuntu was just Debian with extra steps.

    So I knew about HML for a while, but today is the first time I learned that the creator also made a song.

    The world has never before and never will again see such talent.

    There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about...

    [–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

    Here's a picture of the linux distro family tree:

    There's Debian, the distro.

    There's Redhat/Fedora, which is commercial,

    there's gentoo, where on installation, everything is compiled from source.

    There is slackware, mostly for historical purposes (it was the first distro),

    there's arch for ~~people who want to feel they're better than others~~ tinkerers,,

    there is openSUSE, which is like redhat but german.

    Slackware is the oldest distribution which is still active. I remember Yggdrasil came before it, and I'm looking it up, I see that Slackware was based on the earlier SLS.

    Me too! I love my Steam Deck.

    Unless you've worn the sackcloth and ashes of Slack, don't even at me and my son.....

    The flash backs to config files. Sooo many config files everywhere. But tarball are Yum!

    Arch-based is only going to become more of a thing thanks to SteamOS.

    I think you mean GNU/Linux

    [–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 4 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

    Look Richard no matter how many times you post this, no-one is going to start calling it GNU/Linux.

    [–] cqst@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

    Debian GNU/Linux has been called Debian GNU/Linux since at least 1997 https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1997/msg00013.html

    [–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

    well actually I've taken to calling it "GNU+Linux"

    [–] sxan@midwest.social 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    In fact, systemd is arguable a more important component covering more aspects of system function in a lot of distributions: home mounting, boot process, logging, init, cron... I'm going to start calling it systemd/Linux, just to mess with Stallman.

    [–] cqst@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

    Uh no, it's not. GNU has been integral to the GNU/Linux project for years. Without GCC, coreutils, glibc, there would be no linux distributions. Systemd has not played the same role.

    Okay okay, we only needed 10.

    Edit: Though Ubuntu falls under Debian, so that's redundant.
