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 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
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Β 

    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.

    Don't be elitist. You were a noob once, and someone helped you along the way.

    The more people who leave corporate platforms, the better. Punch up, not down.

    [–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    someone helped you

    New to the FOSS community, eh? πŸ˜‰

    [–] Geodad@lemm.ee 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

    Been here since Fedora Core 5.

    The FOSS community is awesome, if you hang out on the right IRCs.

    Sometimes you just need to be told to β€œread the manual”

    The meme is poking fun at elitism.

    [–] Geodad@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago

    Ah, ok. I'm a bit neurodivergent, so I sometimes miss the tone of memes.

    Last sentence shows you're the real hero.

    What the hell kind of setup are you working with that doesn't have touch?

    [–] kurumin@linux.community 1 points 3 days ago

    One could say they are out of... touch. 😎

    I love this image too much

    [–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 63 points 1 week ago (5 children)

    I know this is a joke but I genuinely get annoyed by people who seriously believe this.

    As a 20 year Linux user I cringed at this.

    I hope the point is that it is as idiotic as the original. WTF did the original guy study the blade for, if not to protect other people from the barbarians ? Is he really so bad at the blade he can only protect himself ? Then I guess maybe he really did need to train all that time after all πŸ˜†

    This isn't the original image and that sword doesn't really look like it goes with that scabbard. Did someone recreate/enhance the image with AI?

    The original:

    As a linux user myself, this is kind of cringe to be honest.

    It is a meme? πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’

    [–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    No, it's a very serious post that has to be taken literally.

    While y’all were beating your chests over PC operating systems, I was simply browsing lemmy on my phone.

    Excel is basically a bunch of CLIs.

    :'(

    Also GIMP skills, not to be mistaken with gimp skills (tho there is some overlap in users).

    Windows is the virus.

    [–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

    This is absolutely top tier

    Why is everyone so sure that W10 support ending will have its users stampede towards Linux? I think most users don't care about support and will happily run an outdated OS. They'll probably switch to Apple if they are concerned with that. Am I being too pessimistic?

    [–] Piatro@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago

    It doesn't help that win10 support ending doesn't mean your device will immediately die. It means that you'll probably face some kind of consequences at some point in the following year and years to come, which is too hand-wavey for most people.

    Yeah? No looking it up, give me a bash script for a ping scan of a subnet with a 24 bit mask.

    How do I open an exe file in Mint ya smelly nerds??

    [–] Lembot_0002@lemm.ee 33 points 1 week ago

    Vim or wine. Depends on what you call "open".

    [–] the_q@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago

    Install Bottles.

    Hey don't bash Excel, it can run Linux too, although heavily stripped Risc-V version.

    [–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago

    Just use Libre office. If you are doing anything bigger than that start a SQL server instead

    Gimp = green is my pepper

    [–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

    I find it amussing that tech bros think the average home user will care.... They'll keep using Win 10 like nothing has changed. I knew people still happily using XP in 2014...
