1. Follow the site-wide rules

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!

    If your workflow is heavy on the command-line you'd probably get more value out of Windows with WSL than you would from MacOS... At least then it's Linux everywhere rather than having to remember the differences between GNU coreutils and MacOS coreutils.

    [–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Sure, but you can also brew install coreutils on macOS.

    My point is only that macOS is UNIX. Linux looks a whole lot like UNIX**. But no matter how much you squint, Windows isn't UNIX. Which is completely fine, and everyone is entitled to prefer whatever OS they choose. For me personally, macOS feels familiar. I will always choose Linux if I have the choice, but barring that, I'll take an OS where I can rsync over my .zshrc and .vimrc with minimal shenanigans.

    **And in some cases is UNIX

    EulerOS, a Linux distro, was UNIX-certified.

    But it is. WSL is linux. With most distros available. Macos with coreutils is macos with coreutils.
