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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.

    I was green for awhile but after booting windows for the first time in 4 months to use a scanner it started syncing my files with one drive without my permission (I never set this up). I did a hard shutdown and that was it.

    I would rather rip out a molar then boot windows on bare hardware again.

    No TempleOS? The Lord shall smite you for this wicked heresey.

    [–] muhyb@programming.dev 34 points 5 days ago

    TempleOS doesn't have a pill. It's just bread and wine.

    The correct spelling is DBMS. The picture is accurate though.

    Base Data System Management

    Still technically means the same thing

    Never did manage to get ReactOS working for me

    [–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

    ReactOS can vaguely work, but since it can't really run anything, it's of limited usefulness.

    One of them has to be inserted rectally, but I'm not going to say which one.

    Ohh, and another one it's your decision.

    [–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 5 points 5 days ago

    They all have to be inserted rectally, but the Linux pill vibrates and comes with free lube.

    Windows pill you have to pay extra for lube.

    i need more weird ones. haiku, nextstep, inferno, oberon, alto exec, os/2 warp, z/360, vms, maclisp, colorforth...

    [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago

    KolibriOS and MenuetOS are there, but are so tiny we can't see them at all.

    AROS was there, but the kitty mascot refuses every pill

    Dont forget RedoxOS, long live the secure rust microkernel

    What the fuck is a reactOS?

    [–] FernPlant@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 5 days ago (5 children)

    An open source os built off the windows nt kernel. It doesn't necessarily work the best, not necessarily the most ready, but it's very cool.

    Red pill. Tried the green pill but it was just too painfull having to still interact with windows period. Nuked it a few weeks ago. Screw the anti-cheat games lol, i'd rather not play them if that's what it takes to be free.

    [–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

    its not Windows + Linux dual boot, its Linux primarily with Windows dual boot as a backup just in case i ever need fl studio or adobe

    [–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

    +1 for this one.

    [–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

    I had a Steam partition for years.

    I'm waiting in the Linux lobby for Haiku to be ready.

    [–] ugjka@lemmy.ugjka.net 9 points 5 days ago

    Linux + everything else in Virt Manager

    [–] WalnutLum@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 days ago

    Why are all these pills shaped like suppositories

    [–] macke49@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

    Red pill please. Only Linux please.
