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.

    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.

    Can someone seriously type with their penis? Impressive!

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

    When you watch it's really not that impressive.

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

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

    [–] [email protected] 65 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

    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.

    Your dad is a great dadjoker!

    I have some RedHat CDs from the late 1990s (probably collectible at this point). I remember having a great deal of difficulty mounting my particular cd rom to even install it. I never got a driver for my video card at the time to work, so the "graphics" were awful (640x480 text only, iirc).

    Anyway, few experiences will be more frustrating than trying to use them. I think it should be mandatory for aspiring computer people to play with them, so they can appreciate how far we have come.

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

    [–] [email protected] 63 points 15 hours 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.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

    All of our testing cells at work run Oracle!
    I don't know much about it though.

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 12 hours ago

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

    ... My vacuum actually does run Linux.

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

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 12 hours 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.

    the one you, the reader, uses

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

    Ironically, I'm reading this from PostmarketOS, which has support for the echo dot 2, feature phones and some smartwatches, so it might be realistic to run on a vacum lol.

    [–] NONE_dc 21 points 14 hours ago

    Now this turned meta-referencial really quick.

    Not Linux, but VMS is specifically designed to run on VAX systems.

    [–] [email protected] 84 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 43 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

    TempleOS is the one TRUE OS

    [–] ebolapie 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour 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.

    But it isn’t Linux.

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

    [–] barnaclebutt 23 points 14 hours ago (11 children)

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