- 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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
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, 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.

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. 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.

As a Debian user. I'll take it. Could be worse, could be anyone of the others.
how many years more i have to use mint until i rejuvenate?
Fedora user wearing Fedora. Might be a little on the nose.
I wear a fedora, and I've used nearly any and all distros as my daily driver, except fedora.
It's so confusing.

As a Linux Mint Debian Edition user. I guess I'm just Benjamin Button.
Never met an arch user, but I know a NixOS user who is pretty much the bottom middle.
The arch users are also bottoms.
Can confirm. I arch bottom, btw.
I run top
htop

As always people forget glorious Nixos
I think we NixOS users get grouped in with Arch. Same socks, different colors.

Weird. Just turned 47 and I JUST tried Debian tonight.
So far it's very good.
Get off my lawn
Actually, yes (I use Arch-nya-desu, btw >w<)
Where are Void and Alpine? Or Slackware and Gentoo.
Add all the windows refugees with Zorin flooding forums with easily searchable questions and the gaming refugees with nobara complaining their community supported software isn't as full featured or polished as software produced by a multi-billion dollar company.
I can confirm that with a fresh Zorin install to replace windows 10, I am/will be one of the described persons. So far my qwant searches and AI searches have kept me off the forums, but I know the day will come.
It happens. I remember back in 2008 having quite the time learning about Linux with zero awareness of anything. I remember being kinda shocked there was a whole OS that wasn't windows or Mac and it was free.
Arch does piss me off less than most distros.
Waitβ¦.
Reminds of the ol' Churchill line... "Democracy is the worst form of government, except all the other types of government."
