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 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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

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 figures

We 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.

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.

Me being an arch using vegan with a man-bun makes this feel like a personal attack.

But once I get my new arch setup working I'll install gimp on it and create a meme making fun of you!

And you’ll finally get your sound working on your new laptop after weeks of messing with pulse audio and realizing you just needed to install sof-firmware but didn’t scroll far enough in the wiki to see that, but now your pulse audio config is so messed up it’s just easier to reinstall Arch again

Step 1: install pipewire

I won't stand for the vegan bashing

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 42 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I'm vegan for health reasons and I have yet to meat one of the infamous vegans the stereotype portrays. I ask questions, look for recipes, etc, and everyone has been super nice. I think "those vegans" live primarily on Twitter and Reddit.

PS: I've had a working Linux system in daily use since I started back with Red Hat Halloween and I prefer Debían based installs like Pop!_OS and Mint D. Nothing against Arch but I ain't got time to fight the OS as well as my work.

EDIT: The typo stays.

I’ve met one or two. It’s like fine, it’s a major lifestyle change often associated with ethics that sets you aside from most of society. Many folks have a period of a few months to a year or two of being really annoying about shit like that. It happens with all sorts of folks: linux and arch users, freshly out queer people, people getting into polyamory, new converts to religions… frankly atheists and people who just converted to Christianity are the worst about it in my experience. And yeah these people are annoying. You’ve been annoying too I’m sure, we all have, it’s part of being a person and the people being annoying about these things are typically doing so at an age where some variant of that is a common experience

If we keep beating it for long enough, thermodynamics says it might spontaneously turn back into a horse.

[–] el_bhm@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago

And that horse will be using arch btw.

I use Arch, BTW.

I feed on your hatred.

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 42 points 2 years ago

I can feel your anger. It makes you stronger, gives you focus.

[–] MycoBro@lemmy.world 83 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’ll never forget the first time I successfully installed arch and got my I3 set up juuust like I wanted it. It felt like I did something. It was great. Fuck you!

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 53 points 2 years ago

Fuck you, too 😘

Needs a Steam Deck owner in the corner playing games, wearing headphones, and ignoring all questions.

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 43 points 2 years ago

I might have created this long before Steam Deck was a thing and just reposted it for fake internet points.

I love how "unbiased" it is and I'm not even an arch user.

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yah, I'm a huge fan of factual content. Biased people suck.

No way the Fedora user figured out how to configure partitions in the installer without having to google it at least five times! I've installed Fedora a few times over the years, and that UI still makes no sense to me!

I actually encoutered this the other day.

Me: "Yeah I need reliability for work and sometimes I just don't have time to repair stuff. Last time I was on rolling release some update fucked my system right before an important deadline"

Other person: "It wOn'T bReAk If YoU UndErStANd iT"

._.

Anyway stable is awesome

Debian guy could have just downloaded the nonfree installer that includes some common wifi and other hardware firmwares. There are some pragmatists at Debian.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Also... It's included in all versions starting with Bookworm.

I'll have you know that I eat a vegetarian not vegan diet and I really don't have a man bun (got no hair for that) ... The stickers on the laptop however really felt like you took a photo of my machine.

Also if it wasn't obvious I run arch

If that's a first install, then sure. Otherwise... There was a speedrun installing arch under 2 min...

Might just be an old comic. The above was true a few years ago, but not so much anymore.

Like you don't need to fix shit with Fedora

It's good but it's not left perfect

I've tried Arch before. I don't really remember it being a hassle. I've even installed Gentoo but never used it. Sabayon was the good shit.

Any place of discourse that incorporates the term 'master race' in its name is a place I give a wide berth.

Anyone here remember when people would say "I use debian btw" ?

[–] kttnpunk@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (6 children)

I've found Garuda pretty much gets you all the perks of Arch without the drawbacks and installs just as quickly as debian if not faster. And I love ancient Linux memes as much as anybody but neither Debian or fedora is much to write home about nowadays IMHO.

Honestly this is the reason I want an immutable build of Arch like NixOS.

Let me roll back my mistakes and I could live more happily with rolling release.

I quit using Arch after about ten years of using it because Team Fortress 2 quit working and none of the resolutions on protondb fixed my issue.

Priorities, people.
