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 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    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 remove France.

    What's always missing is nomacs - the best image viewing and light editing toolkit app on linux.

    Nobody ever mentions it. Why is that? Why? It supports all the formats. It has the best slideshow options. The UI is as minimal or as informative as you set it to be. WHYYYYYY DOES NOBODY TALK ABOUT IT??? Who paid you to be silenced?

    (and yes, it can convert the formats)

    I used it for a long time years ago and it is indeed very great. But its only maintainer stopped around 2021/2022 because he got a new job or something along that line. As far i see he partially returned later but is still looking for more contributors. so the future of the project is not really secure. e.g. see https://github.com/nomacs/nomacs/issues/987

    So more eyes on Nomacs would be indeed good.

    Doesn't really seem like the sort of thing that needs regular updates though. Should keep working fine while Qt6 is available.

    It's so crazy to me that guy was unemployed and is spending his days making a high quality software product for free

    TBH, that's his rΓ©sumΓ©

    It reminds me of IrfanView, but I'm sure it's better than that

    This sounds pretty sweet and it's indeed the first time I've ever heard about it so... keep spreading that word brother???

    For some reason it's not included in Debian Bookworm (currently stable) and Bullseye. It previously was in Buster and will hopefully again be in Trixie (currently testing).

    I'm absolutely in the market for a new image viewer. One with a sensible gallery / (sub-) folder view.

    I'll try nomacs out today.
