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.

    Just install it a few times without archinstall following the wiki and you will soon have better knowledge about linux filesystem and cli than the others.

    That wiki install method is really terrible, 20 years ago I was using LFS as a daily driver, but still I look at the Arch wiki and go 'you want me to do WHAT to install?'

    [–] Kutsuya 1 points 1 year ago

    I use arch since 2019 and man does the wiki SUCK! You're better off googling everything since the wiki seems to contradict itself quite often too :/.

    So what's Gentoo doing in all this? Murdering you in your sleep?

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    It just abandons its eggs before they hatch

    You habe to hatch yourself, just Luke every other Gentoo user

    What would Gentoo be? Sea turtles?

    The last panel but also with an instruction pamphlet.

    [–] DoruDoLasu 1 points 1 year ago

    instructions are pretty good, but the tree is way higher (never installed Gentoo, but judging from how detailed the how to boot section of the install guide is, maybe I wouldn't be too lost if I did)

    I swear at one point I tried installing Gentoo, the manual could of just said "Compile your own shit pleb“

    I use vanillaOS now

    My Fedora sits on a remote cliff. The remains of a pre-RHEL RedHat egg shell can be seen far below. It is cold and alone there, but it is a familiar cold.

    Arch isn't real?

    [–] Gordon 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    Okay true, but arch is really neat and minimal for when that matters

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

    I learned more by setting arch up once than I did in a few years of using noob distros.

    And I found out that most of the RTFM comments are justified because the manual is incredibly good.
