1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.

    Oracle linux, just tell them your carpet has an unlicensed database.

    [–] [email protected] 89 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    I was invited to a user group where oracle Linux was trying to get more adopters. The coolest thing they had was the ability to update a kernel driver while it was running. In place. Without downtime.

    I asked them if they planned on pushing this improvement to the kernel devs and they just gave me a blank face.

    Told me everything I needed to know about Oracle Linux. I promptly formatted the thumb drive they gave me for free.

    If they released it for free then Ubuntu wouldn't have Ubuntu Pro to sell subscriptions to.

    They want to clean the carpet, not lose the house.

    All of them except Hannah Montana Linux, which is the One True Linux.

    TempleOS is the one TRUE OS

    [–] ebolapie 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    TempleOS is God's chosen OS, but I don't live at church. I use TempleOS to pray, and Hannah Montana Linux for personal tasks. That way I get the best of both worlds.

    Similar to a joke my dad told in the 90's

    If Microsoft ever makes a product that doesn't suck, it'll be a vacuum cleaner.

    Apparently it's Athena Linux. At least, that's what the hackable vacuums use.

    Installing on my fridge. Which one is the coolest?

    [–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

    Kali Linux. All the kids talk about it. All the kids want to be with it.

    I'd say Manjaro but they'd probably DDOS your vacuum on accident.

    [–] SpatchyIsOnline 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    ... My vacuum actually does run Linux.

    !It's a roborock with Valetudo installed so it doesn't need internet access!<

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    There are dozens of us! Mine is a Dreame D9 with a custom GLaDOS voice pack that I can change by updating a CVS file.

    RHEL because the best Linux is the one you pay for.

    Manjaro might be good, but you'll have to adjust the vacuum's clock every time you want to clean

    Our roborock robot vacuum runs Ubuntu (I'm not joking)

    I want to install Linux on a Vacuum cleaner, which sucks the most?

    Nix-OS. Nix translates to "nichts" in german, which translates to "nothing" in english. A vacuum creates sucktion force.

    Also I get endless error messages sometimes, when I run nixos rebuild switch --upgrade, that sucks in a metaphorical sense, I need to modify the versions of programs I install.

    Does windows for linux count?

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    That Justin Bieber Linux?
    (The opposite of Hannah Montana Linux ofc)

    Ironically it's probably Suckless.

    There was a Windows tablet I bought for PDFs only. It ran some terrible Windows 8 lite version. That would easily be the worst Linux distro.
