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!

    Should we say GNU/Linux instead of Linux if we're referring to the whole OS ?

    [–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, Systemd/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning EMACS plugin made useful by Systemd.

    No, because Linux can work even without GNU. You just have to recompile everything against musl.

    LiGNUx is a hill I'm entrenched and ready to die on.

    Is GNU really just unix in disguise?

    [–] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago

    Well, it stands for GNU's Nearly UNIX, so probably

    [–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    No. Otherwise where's the limit? GNU/Linux/systemd/Xorg/i3/Firefox/kakoune?

    [–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    [–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago
