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. 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 fork-bomb your computer.

Thank you again for the feedback!
I’ve already made changes to the script for it to work on LMDE. When I first tried it, it broke Wine and a number of other things because LMDE returns “faye” as the distro name, which doesn’t exist on any usual repository for Debian. So I had to make sure “bookworm” was used as a fallback, and reordered some things to consolidate user confirmations at the beginning so you can sit back afterward until it reboots.
Also figured out how to get and use the version number programmatically for VirtualBox toolset installs, so only one place needs editing when a new version of VBox is released.
And some other small things like installing GIMP and the plugin that gives it a Photoshop UI.
Still needs a Bluetooth handler and Firewall (for Debian), etc, still a WIP.
edit: just realized Debian already has a bluetooth handler, I missed it because i accidentally disabled sharing bluetooth devices with that VM!
