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 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.

... while demanding "NPUs" that don't really exist, so they can force you to use the AI nonsense grafted deep into the guts of the system, powered by constantly spying on everything you do.

Or you could just use Mint.

I've been easing myself into using Mint, but it's hard to use any Linux distro when all I know about computers is what I've been taught by programming memes. I can easily look up all the acronyms, but there's only so much I can glean from Wikipedia pages that look like they belong on the VX Junkies subreddit

The trick is to say "[thing] is bullshit!" on a forum site and have people rush to explain why you are an eejit. Way better than Google these days.

(Case in point: if you use a terminal to do any file operations with a wildcard, use ./* for all the stuff in this directory, instead of just *.)
