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.

    Meanwhile at Tuxedo OS:

    Manager: "So, we need a set of Wallpapers for that Linux we have."

    Worker: "Alright, so i suggest that we add some vistas from germany in there and some nature photography."

    Manager: "Classic and beautiful, but i feel like we need a little twist to that."

    Worker: "Alright, so was if we were to run an algorithm that turns random parts of the wallpaper into polygonal art?"

    Manager: "How random exactly?"

    Worker: "Totally! The only rule is that half of the wallpaper has to have that look but there's no rhyme or reason to which parts will be turned into polygons."

    Manager: "I love it. Can we also super impose our logo on the wallpaper so that people can always rest assured that the Linux they booted is still the Linux they installed and that it's our Linux?"

    Worker: "Absolutely sir!"

    Same results for me.. Are we using duckduckgo wrong? I want to make it understand me

    I end up always using the !g shortcut and using DDG at this point is googling with extra steps.

    No wonder google has a monopoly on search engines.

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

    Yeah. What are some good alternatives to DDG?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    Brave Search, Startpage, and SearX are good. I personally use Brave Search.

    Lmao I looked it up, and it looks exactly like a Gimp filter I used just to get an image in a GUI library wrapper project just to have an image to load 20 years ago.
