1. Follow the site-wide rules

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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.

    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.

    Crazy, rich South Africans is how we got Ubuntu

    [–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 65 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    But would you like to upgrade to Ubuntu pro?

    [–] ichbinjasokreativ@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Ubuntu pro is not at all a bad thing. It's free to consumers but you can also just ignore it if you don't need it.

    The ssh prompt? I think you just need to mess with the files in /etc/update-motd.d

    [–] Technoguyfication@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    The prompt on the desktop that says there and pending updates that can only be installed with Pro.

    [–] ichbinjasokreativ@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

    I've been using Ubuntu for about 3, years now on the desktop and I don't know what you're talking about. Where exactly is that prompt? And they're not hiding updates behind pro, it's just extra on top of the updates you'd get on other distros.

    It is for up to 5 devices, so small-scale homelab stuff can be covered without cost.

    [–] ichbinjasokreativ@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

    Does what? Sign up for ubuntu pro? For that you just need to go to their website and register. For the homelab stuff you could start small - maybe a linux nas with a few VMs for a pihole or something.

    Ubuntu is a gateway drug to Arch.

    [–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago (4 children)

    And arch is a gateway drug to NixOS or gentoo

    Select your drug now

    [–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I smoke my Linux with a filter.

    [–] reev@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

    Ah, a Zorin user

    [–] djsaskdja@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I have selected Fedora. Where did I go wrong?

    [–] psmgx@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

    Something something IBM something

    [–] Opisek@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I'm an Arch user flirting with the idea of NixOS. Is it too late to save me?

    [–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

    Hes to far gone SMH

    I ran nix for awhile and it was super stable, i just kinda got bored of using it. I know its really powerful with nixpills and flakes.

    Funny Gentoo actually was my gateway to arch. Loved the customizability of Gentoo and the rolling release model.

    But building Chrome and Firefox (I needed both for work reasons sometimes) every update was the nail in the coffin. Switched to Arch and didn't miss a thing.

    It's also how we got snap packages and apartheid, and I'm not even sure which of those is worse. (yes, I'm joking)

    [–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Could you elaborate on this for those of us who don't know the context?

    [–] dustyData@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Canonical, the company that is responsible for Ubuntu, was founded by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth to sell B2B Linux tech support.

    Aha thanks for letting me know πŸ‘

    Par for the course
