- 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.

Fedora recommends using the software center rather than and in order to get more reliable updates.
Yeah, many such ridiculous notions with RedHat. Part of why I won't use their stuff if I can help it. Don't get me started on Podman.
whatβs your take on podman? i was just reading a thread where people seemed to agree that itβs better than docker.

Nah, just declare your packages programmatically
I don't even install anymore I just do nix run. What I use daily is in my nix config, the rest can stay in the store
Damn! I wish Keanu would validate me
Yes... until I started using Fedora Silverblue and now I use software center, but only occasionally because the flatpaks update themselves in the background.

Updating my shit in Termux:
# update via apt wrapper
pkg upgrade
# update yt-dlp
yt-dlp -U
# update everything in ~/.src
# (in this case, just ksh93)
gr ~/.src
cd ~/.src/ksh
bin/package make
bin/package install /data/data/com.termux/files/usr
or just put into your .bashrc
alias update="sudo dnf up --assumeyes && flatpak update --system --assumeyes && flatpak update --user --assumeyes"
a lot more comfortable
Declarative config skeleton at bottom of swimming pool
sudo softwareupdate -i -a --restart
