Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

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 figures

We 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.

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.

Stop with this stupid meme, it was false when it started and it is much more false now.

Linux has plenty of viruses, windows viruses are still functional under wine, and there are still the entire phishing and scam world.

You have a point. But Linux Out of the Box always immune to any Windows virus like the meme says. And average Linux guy would still have protections on. But yeah, having a shield dont mean we wont ever get hit.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

The meme does not mention Windows. What protections does the average Linux user has? If you do a basic setup of most desktop distors the only protection you have is password input for sudo...

[–] coldaf@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

forgot to add+ and most Linux malwares are targeting servers. Malwares that targeting casual Linux users are very niche.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

What does "targeting servers" mean for the end result? And I can tell you that most of these malware that target servers will work just fine on a desktop distro and will still do the same damage.
