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
sudoin 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.

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.

I use Kubuntu. No complaints here. Im also not super well versed in linux and my husband installed it for me so that I had something that was well supported for gaming and streaming/vtubing.
(I dont remember what he uses, he switches it weekly)
Criticizing Ubuntu is hivemind? Wow. Now do Systemd critics.
SystemD critics formed as a cult of anti-personality. This both describes what they are (people with the opposite of a personality) and what they are about (hating that shithead Lennart Pöttering, who is a German man who grew up in South America to his German parents if you're picking up what I'm putting down*).
Per the wiki, Lennart is well known for being a weird dick about things in the Linux ecosystem and using market power and dominance, rather than a more collaborative or tech-first approach, to push his and only his ideas forward. This rubs people the wrong way, especially in a community predominantly built on the opposite ideals, leading to the universal hatred of everything he's ever built. But it makes creating distros easier so people deal with it.
Today, he spends his time working for Microsoft and refusing to acknowledge vulnerabilities in his overly complex standards-incompliant code.
SystemD haters are of course just jealous of his ability to be completely free of self-doubt.
*To be clear I have no evidence of this and it's probably not true, but it's 2025 let's be honest nobody cares if it's true or not
Problem with Poettering is that he was right, but he was a dick about it. Like Rick Sanchez.
