Community rules (click to expand)

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 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, 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.

I’m moving my posts from Reddit to Lemmy before delete them.

This post is from 2021-11-11.

It should've been apt-get but welp.

Thank you, this sounds more reasonable and understandable to me now why someone would believe that this is what I said.

Though, I really don't see what about pointing out a questionable decision equals to actually blaming someone... Or where this accusation comes from:

Getting on your high horse and talking about the “right” order to do things makes you seem like an elitist looking down on the poor peons who dare to try and use their OS in any other way than the one you deem correct. That’s why people think you’re upset.

Hope not everyone in this community is this... angry. Who hurt you?

What are you doing, if not placing the blame on the user by calling it a "user error"?

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

This exact thing actually was user error. I mean, I like my people Linus, Luke, Emily and the others like every other average tech person... But when Steam is the absolute first thing you go for after installing your OS, then, sorry, but then you have only yourself to blame.

Your exact words, taken from your post. You literally said that he has only himself to blame.

I didn't. I said "You". It was a generalized statement about how I think about this incident. It wasn't targeted at anyone specifically. ...The word mincing in this community is worrying. Guess I will do myself a favor and just leave.
