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.

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Use EndeavourOS

    i messed with eos, it's alright. I had some problems with the mirrors breaking, to which the solution to fixing the broken keyring trust was "untrust the key, and forcibly install it" which i didn't really like. Other than that it seemed ok.

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Run the eos updater tool and it takes care of all of that for you. The broken mirrors isnt an actual issue either since there's redundant mirrors on the mirror list I believe

    [–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

    oh believe me i did, it was fucked. The problem was that the keyring for EOS was out of date, and since i hadn't updated in long enough, there was literally zero chain of trust for that keyring to be updated somehow. So i had to forcibly update it.

    I tried a variety of things, including updating eos mirrors iirc, nothing worked until i fixed the keyring lol.

    LMDE and don't look back.

    [–] olutukko@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

    nah it's still good. I do prefer fedora myself though, but that's just a preference

    [–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

    ubuntu isn't real and doesnt exist.

    And even then, all you would have to do is just stop using ubuntu. Which given the lifespan of a linux user, is a pretty normal occurrence.
