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.

    On systemd.. first i am hearing about this. Am I in danger?

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    I guess it's that the versions aren't in ${major}.${minor}.${patch} format, but just a continuous number. But who tf cares, it's human readable and any competent version comparing tool (eg. pacman's vercmp, I use arch btw) should handle it fine, considering they also need to handle git's much more annoying commit version thingy.

    There absolutely are minor versions, but no patch releases. E.g. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v256.9 which includes no new functionalities, as these are limited to major releases

    Nothing I can find. The latest release has a "breaking changes" section but that is nothing unusual. All software has breaking changes from time to time and should be addressed by your distro maintainers.
