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
sudoin 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.

Want to fuck the thread up? Just ask "What is the G.O.A.T. Distro?"
Hannah Montana Linux
This is the only right answer.

AmogOS
GoatOS, obvs
The one you make yourself
Red Star OS
or TempleOS
Microsoft Azure Linux obviously

Hotdog linux
MacOS! It's just linux under the hood

edit: aw i thought we were playing "who can stir up the most shit" but now everyone just thinks i'm a big dummy.. i use arch guys.. :(
Lol no
To a higher degree than Windows, yes it is.
It’s a UNIX-like system. It’s not close enough to be linux imo
Yeah lots of unix-likes out there but it's not running the linux kernel so it's decidedly not linux. I was just trying to stir up shit in a shit stirring thread.
Now, to possibly stir up more shit: Its ancestry might even be closer to unix than linux itself since darwin was derived from nextstep/bsd whereas linux was a mix of minix and torvalds going "fuck this licensing shit i'll just make my own"
I will say, any time i've had to deal with a macos system i've appreciated being able to drop into a familiar shell. DOS commands drive me insane. dir is 50% longer than ls! Who has time for that!
Is it though? Last time I checked on a friend's computer POSIX message queues were not available. They had to install Ubuntu to code their operating systems homework. Unless mqueue is not part of the POSIX specification, MacOS doesn't seem POSIX compliant to me.
Apartheid Linux (it really exists, apparently)
