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.

    Is there a punchline to this I’m missing?

    It's a parody of stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCRzng7LsQI

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

    Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    Man, I thought having more CPU cores was what made compile jobs faster, I've never tried compiling on more screens before. TIL.

    For real, I was like... so what the hell?

    Maybe it's making fun of windows users who go through a 3-100 step install wizard?

    It's not making fun of Macs, which IMO has the slickest installs of just dragging.

    I'd rather click a button that installed everything to the right place than relying on myself to drag a single thing to a specific folder. Opening a folder first and having to drag is... a drag. That's my opinion.

    Installing on a Mac looks like this.

    1. Click on the app package you downloaded
    2. Then verify that you do want to install it by dragging it

    Imo it's very intuitive, clean and clever. No wrong way to do it.

    UI design of apple truly amazes me. Did Jobs really worked on the design as well

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    Once you know, it is easy. But this random popup with 0 explanation, besides an arrow, is not intuitive at all. In general I like my MacBook Air but I hate MacOS and if it wasn’t apple silicon itd be running linux. Once Asahi or something similar deals with growing pains, it will 100% be doing so.
