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, 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.

    What ive heard is the "linux philosophy" argument. Its just doing too many things.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    this comment shows how the word of mouth actually distorted the argument

    its not the linux philosophy but one sentence of the unix philosophy (linux is not unix)
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy

    Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new "features"

    besides being over 40 years old at this point

    fun fact the linux kernel would actually not really fit this since it is an monolithic kernel

    Ah sorry, unix not linux. I didnt think of that before, it seems so obvious that linux kernel isnt doing one thing well, it does everything ever, kind of well.
