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.

Never heard of Cosmic before this, is this a new DE?
Rust-based DE from Pop OS folks thats in a 'public alpha' right now. https://blog.system76.com/
Unicorn is an xfce based thing for Rhino Linux fhat also looks interesting.
It's a fork from gnome by System76 (From Pop!OS)
Not quite. The current PopOs DE is a gnome fork with 'cosmic shell', etc. The Cosmic Desktop Environment that has yet to be released is just a new DE written in Rust that will replace this Gnome variant in future pop versions.
They give regular progress updates here: https://blog.system76.com/
Ah gotcha, it'll still look pretty similar though, right?
Yeah, it looks like they've tried to tone down the annoying 'touch'iness of Gnome and it has built-in support for themes, etc - but the screenshots give a very similar vine to gnome overall.
