Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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.
- 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.
5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
- Comments written in other languages are allowed.
- 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.
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 remove France.

You don't have to use systemd. However, the rest of the world left you behind. Systemd isn't controversial since everyone has adopted it. No one is making you use it but keep in mind you are a very small minority. The rest if the community moved on after systemd was release 10 years ago.
This is fine for the memes but outside of that it is silly.
Windows has about 80% market share (decreasing) in a very specific and shrinking niche (desktop PC's).
All other computing devices used by most people daily on the client and server side are dominated by some form of Linux or BSD.
Hexbear user spotted (or at least that's what my first impression is with the weird image)
Windows isn't controversial since everyone uses it. That's a true fact.
Heck no, that's just an ancient meme to indicate it's just banter/harmless trolling, not an attempt at serious discourse.
I guess we're old now, if folks don't know trollface anymore.
The more you know I guess. I wasn't on the internet in 2008.
What's weird about the image? It shows up as a trollface to me. Are you like, 14?
I've only seen that image used by Hexbear users
If I was 14 I would've been born in 2010. I'm young but not that young. (I'm in my 20's)
Trollface was probably the most popular meme of the last decade, you must have been living under a rock
I wasn't on any social media prior to about 2 or 3 years ago
You're joking, it was on Twitter a decade ago
No I'm not...
Social media has always seemed pretty concerning to me. The advertising based model made my skin crawl at the time.
Get out while you still can. You'll find only madness here.
