- 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.
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

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. ย
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.

He will release X-OS, a fork of Ubuntu, which is half broken, and has Grok integrated in it.
He'll get sued by Apple for infringing on their OS X trademark, and he'll invent laws claiming he's in the right, and he'll lose billions, and then he'll claim he invented Linux and he's a genius.
I kind of want to see this go down. There are a few companies you don't fuck with. Apple is definitely one of them. I am sure their lawyers are just as smart and soulless as Disney's
Musk has been using x.com since the Mac OS 8 days.
He'd easily have prior rights.
He sold it into PayPal, then bought it back from PayPal a couple years ago.
Not sure how trademarks work, but I think it gets stickier when it's used for different purposes. like how there's Starcraft trailers and the game.
Unfortunately, XOS has already been taken by Infinix, a budget phone brand that primarily sells in Africa, for its own ad-riddled bloated Android skin.
Is it going to be a Ubuntu from though? I can see his engineers coming to him saying we should fork Ubuntu for many very good reasons. Then he does to much ketamine and then tells them to use DistroX, because the X
(I can't actually tell if DistroX is real. I could only find one reference to it. But hey is that going to stop Musk)
AntiX?
You would think but this is what LinuxInsider said about it.
So no way could he use it.
This is the one reference that I found. I assume that if DistroX ever existed it is long dead.

Based off the Ubuntu 24.04 release, which already seems half broken, it's perfect.
