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.

    I started calling it "Grandma Debian" for some reason.

    ... I say this as a Debian user after new versions of Mint failed to accurately detect my RAID size. I tried Ubuntu for giggles, same problem, but Grandma Debian worked perfect out of the box.

    To be fair, it is a software RAID in the BIOS and those are known to be odd.

    currently switching all my rhel derived(fedora, centos, rocky, alma) servers over to Debian.

    it just works and I'm not afraid of some dumbass political move to block or change access to it.

    if all else fails, I'll probably switch to opensuse.

    opensuse will be a much better experience than any rhel

    I can't see a reason for Debian to fall especially for servers, except where you've got some packages built for RHEL only, though you'd have the same issue with any distro.

    I'm doing the same BTW. Except for what I have no control over, which is OL. But that's a vendor box so its mostly their problem.

    I still don't get why my laptop shipped with BIOS raid enabled.
    It only has one drive!
