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!

    I started my Gentoo compile in 2008. It should be ready by next October.

    Old news, gentoo has binary packages as an option

    [–] Waffelson@lemmy.world 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    What's the point of using Gentoo if you don't compile?

    [–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

    You don't have to choose between binary and source, you can get some pre-compiled packages that you don't care about, but e.g. run a custom kernel at the same time.
