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!

    i like how theres the stereotype of being a:

    • fat man who lives in their parents basement
    • femboy with programmer socks
    • furry

    and all of that just for arch/gentoo users

    Everyone knows us Debian wooks all live in yurts and attend monthly struggle sessions.

    I've never felt so seen in a comment. Also, you're down to monthly?

    I don't know why, but saying a trans just sounds weird.

    But yes, walking stereotype. I bet you like Fallout New Vegas, too

    [–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Oh shit, I didn't see the A. thanks for pointing it out. Maybe my brain was going in the direction of "a trans person".

    [–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Brainfarts are my specialty, so yeah, that sounds likely

    [–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    BTW, yes I was exploring the Mojave just a moment ago.

    [–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Love it

    I played it for the first time just recently, and as I'm amab I played as a woman. As I always do.

    [–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

    Great! I convinced my (cis) boyfriend to play it for the first time a few weeks ago and I think he has like 40 hours and still haven't finished the game.

    I am also playing it to try things I couldn't try previously.

    I've never seen that stereotype. I'm not so sure it is one.

    [–] EbonyEarl@lemmy.fmhy.net 3 points 1 year ago

    The closest thing I've seen to this is femboys using Arch.

    [–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

    Keep my distro's name outcha mouf!!!

    [–] Lileath@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

    Does it count when I am nonbinary and use openSUSE as my daily driver?

    [–] drew_belloc@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Wait! Is not the other way around?

    [–] teddy2021@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Yeah, I would've thought that the stereotype would have been an overweight white male with patchy facial hair who probably uses arch.

    [–] lenuup@reddthat.com 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Hey. I will have you know that this magnificent beard is a sign of martial prowess and masculinity. I could easily cut you in half with any of my katanas but would find it easiest with the bat'leth, with which I have trained extensively for some time. Of course I would not have to wield the blade myself, as I can simply use my programming skills on my arch setup to program a robot to do so.

    [–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

    Just because I'm building a robot that wields a bat'leth, doesn't mean I'm using Arch.

    I mean...I am using Arch.

    But I chose Arch for entirely separate personal reasons.
