Sister communities:
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 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.

Terminal is great until you paste a command from an online tutorial and it doesn't do what it is suppose to.
Do su rm -rf / to fix all issues you have
Just for those who are not aware don't do this. This is equivalent to deleting system32.
Is this some kind of pleb joke I'm too zfs to understand?
So...always?
They're aren't meant to work. They're meant to make us feel pride and accomplishment.
Here's a novel idea, read what you're about to paste and try to understand what it does at least on high level. You can
man
each command to check what it does and whether the parameters provided make sense.I wrecked my kernel and rendered wifi unusable doing this just last week!
Hah! I can do all that without an online tutorial!
