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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, 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.

    But everyone knows that Mint is the best Unix. (Secret giggle behind my hand.)

    I first resurrected a dead PC with RedHat before the turn of the century, mind, and that thing had UPTIME.

    I still have me a massive soft spot for Solaris back in the day, though.

    I did the same, in the late 90s, and that computer got h4xx3d in two weeks through a vulnerability in Apache.

    That was a really good learning experience.

    Lol this comment section is on fire. Irony died in 2015.

    People like a good flame war 🤷

    Just because one understands trolling doesn't mean it can't be fun to discuss the things the troll brought up.

    Especially when it's cold outside.

    Is there some twisted definition by which you can argue Windows is UNIX? Just to intensify the violence.

    [–] Trashboat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    GNU/Unix/NT, as I’ve taken to calling it

    Back in the 90s, Windows NT had a POSIX compatibility layer that you could enable (it wasn't enabled by default).

    I guess we have different definitions of what "best" means.

    Secure from whom? Sure to be more government backdoors in MacOS.

    [–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I know that date handling isn't necessarily indicative of the quality of the whole operating system but...

    Is macOS more secure than OpenBSD?

    App sandbox, SIP, and the Secure Enclave are awesome, but I don’t know how macOS actually compares to the BSDs these days.
