Community rules (click to expand)

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!

    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.

    Rolling release master race checking for updates several times per day.

    Cannot update 600 packages because library-you’ve-never-heard-of conflicts with what-the-fuck-even-is-a-polypterodaclib?

    [–] knorke3@lemm.ee 12 points 7 months ago

    KDE's qt6 transition sure was something

    [–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 months ago

    polypterodaclib

    Fucking hell, I nearly spat out my coffee at that one word. Bravo.

    I haven't had those issues on Tumbleweed. It gets massive updates all the time but everything seems to go just fine.

    Whenever something breaks/doesn't feel right, I'll just reinstall the OS and it'll work again

    Rolling release, update every now and then, 4000+ packages is common. Nothing ever breaks.

    Thanks zipper!

    I'm guessing you mean zypper?

    [–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

    I did.

    However my zipper never breaks either. So both work, although in that case it's loosely related.

    emerge --sync?

    i haven't checked for updates on one of my machines for like 7 months now. some packages are partial upgrades (hilariously, xz is currently on the backdoored version and I don't care to fix it)
    the thing survived multiple 500+ package upgrades from partial upgrade state and has been running for like 2.5 years now
