From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not gonna lie, the fact that I can see all these neofetch images in the comment section has me sold on Lemmy over Reddit.

I wasn't aware steamOS used Pacman, i thought it was immutable

[–] Alatain 4 points 1 year ago

You can kinda make it bend a bit to your whim. While it is technically immutable if you don't mess with it, it does have everything necessary for using pacman. It just all reverts next time steamos updates. Anything you install directly through the discover portal is permanent, but it does technically have access to anything in the pacman repos as well.

I unlocked mine long enough to download neofetch and take the screenshot for this. It'll revert back soon, but I only needed it temporarily for imaginary internet points. :)

WindowMaker and Chicago95, what a nice aesthetic you have going!

Haha, I'm just used to it, been using WindowMaker since 1999 I think (Red Hat Linux 5.2 Apollo was my first distro).

Arch, Void, Arch, Gentoo, Arch, Arch,...you're all making me feel like a basic removed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Super surprised to see the number of void linux here in this platform

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

There's a lemmy.ml/c/voidlinux community as well.

But yea, I once met a Void user at a party, and it seems like any number above '0' is a surprise.

I'll eat my hat if I see anyone else here using this hehe

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

well, i at least know its a source based distro

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It is! I mainly posted this to spread the word, SourceMage can always use more users :) We've actually been around almost as long as Gentoo!

What are you using to generate that?

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

It's a terminal program called neofetch. Some of the other screenshots use a similar program called pfetch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's called neofetch

You can install it via pretty much any package manager.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

neofetch is the programs name

I'd just be embarrassing myself, I don't have anything nearly as fancy.

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

Apologies for the low-quality screen capture.

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

This is my dualboot install on my old laptop that I used in high school. The trackpad is chipped, and I only use the Windows install for those pesky pieces of invasive proctoring software in use in my college courses. The Mint install, I primarily use for downloading stuff (Persepolis) and data recovery (Because Windows shits itself if you dare plug in a damaged drive).
