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. ๐ฌ๐ง Language/ัะทัะบ/Sprache

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.

One day maybe I'll understand why people are fine with package managers that have you sweat if you're updating whenever the heck you want rather than often and with a second pair of eyes on the news
There are too many in the Linux dev community who cling to their old concepts, even if they are objectively worse. Hell, 99% of distros still don't even come with disaster recovery preconfigured; OpenSuse are the only ones I know where you don't need to be a professional to revert back to a working state in case something broke. This conservatism as well as elitism (nobody needs the new stuff if everyone just gets good and becomes a CLI magician, right?) in the community is holding us back horribly, and it shows.
With nix it's easy to revert, if you keep your previous config. Version it with git and it's really easy.
"It's easy with tool that requires extensive knowledge. Do it with another tool that requires extensive knowledge and it's even easier."
You just showed everyone the elitism I was talking about, thank you.
