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 members of the community for any reason.
- 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
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.

Well the solution here is to just use the superior distro, naturally.
This post will surely upset nobody.
Finally, puppy linux is getting the recognition it deserves
I ordered something from someone awhile back and it came with a free flash drive in the shape of a credit card. It had pictures of puppies on it so naturally it's a puppy linux drive now.
This is entirely irrelevant but hopefully someone gets a smile out of it.
Wait, what?
Thin, credit-card-sized USB drives are a popular promotional gimmick because they have a practical use but also have a large surface area for promoting your brand. Most often given out as vendor gifts.
Weird, but interesting!
If you donate to the FSF, you get a member card with pre-installed Linux.
and GNU?
I think you mean Hannah Montana Linux.
Puppy ftw
Puppy's awesome. I've used it on a laptop so old I had to install a bootloader in the MBR so it would boot from USB. It ran like a dream.
Red Hat 5.0 for lyfe.
Kernel 2.0.36 represent! ✊
