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.

    If you're on Arch, then you want those tasty hourly updates om nom nom

    source: I use Arch btw

    All I wanna do is sudo pacman -Syu

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    paru -Syu, you don't want to forget your AUR packages, right?

    [–] bitwaba 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    You can do the same with just paru. No flags necessary.

    Or save yourself a character and just yay

    Heathen, using any software not written in rust is sacrilege

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    pacman -R linux-*

    [–] turbowafflz 2 points 6 months ago

    Exactly what I always do, since I have to use a kernel not written in rust I uninstall the kernel once I've booted so it's only in memory and no longer tainting my storage with its impurity

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

    I'll even add some characters and use pikaur

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I like to be a bit more explicit than necessary.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

    Explicit is better than implicit.

    Unless you're trying to get a movie or game to get a teen-friendly rating, in which case you might not want to make the sex scenes quite as explicit.

    I have seen horrors beyond comprehension because i tried updating aur packages

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Well, it's easy enough if you only use precompiled packages. Beyond that you should probably have a better understanding of what you are doing.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

    Oh no i know what im doing. I just had dependency hell way to often with aur packages so i just dont update them anymore unless i need to do so

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

    Not being able to Syu every 5 minutes and only being able to update once a day was the biggest challenge when I changed to NixOS
