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!

    is it save to do this on a virtual machine though?

    [–] lud@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah, why not. If you don't have anything important on the VM you can do whatever the fuck you want.

    [–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

    so it will simply stop working until you reinstall the VM?

    [–] ordellrb@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

    Depending on the system it will not even have a promt or have it but /bin is gone and no command works

    The VM will stop working yes. You could use snapshots before though.
