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.

    A real Linux boi would rewrite the program from scratch custom tailored to his personal needs.

    [–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    I run Arch , by the way.

    [–] manofdiamond@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

    I use gentoo, fyi

    i feel so incompetent compared to other linux users, like i didnt even know flatpak had a repair command until today

    [–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    If it makes you feel any better, I'm a total fraud. I've used Linux Mint a few times, so now I can say I'm a Linux user.

    [–] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Exactly the same with me. Very occasional Mint user. I will never touch Win11, so when Win10 hits EoL I'm screwed if I haven't learned to deal with the friction of learning Linux.

    I may end up regressing to a PC-less monke until I figure it out. Windows can kiss my primate ass.

    [–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Same (after reading this comment). Flatpak is some new fangled contraption. /s

    A person can't know everything.

    [–] oatscoop@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

    Feh.

    The only flatpacks I trust are made in Sweden.

    [–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    I've been using linux for 10 or 11 years and I also didn't know flatpak had a repair command, so don't feel too bad

    [–] firecat@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Until remember patient exists and legally cannot create another copy. Sure you made one yourself but can never release it to the public.

    [–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Even without that, things can go really bad:

    1. You're the only developer, then you burn out on the project.
    2. You underbake the UI so much your project becomes infamous for how hard it is to use, complete with an elitist userbase that just screams "git gud" memes at everyone asking for help (most often happens to dev tools).

    The rare occasion, it'll become like Krita, modern Blender, Audacity, etc.

    [–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Ha you think I can possibly code a UI ? Command line only. Maybe curses if absolutely necessary.

    Still under baked...

    S2g linux users are their own worst enemies

    [–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

    If you aren't creating custom software to address one-off needs, are you really a Linux user?
