  • 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.

    linux emulator on templeos

    I unironically want to see this happen, mostly because it would be an incredible feat. Not only because of the language and compiler restrictions, but the only way that you could take a break would be to play a few games that aren't very fleshed out or "Listen to God."

    [–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 38 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Yes, this is the only version that makes sense.

    [–] jnk@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    A version with different distros would be nice. I want to see blood here.

    [–] ordellrb@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    What is the distro if you are rich, Ubuntu pro ?

    [–] sunstoned@lemmus.org 9 points 5 months ago

    A rich person runs NixOS (for the military contracts apparently)

    RHEL - 16 free licences and you can use them for whatever you want

    Ubuntu pro - 5 free licences for personal use

    SEL - you can try it out for 60 days or cobble something together while testing our enterprise packages

    [–] steersman2484@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I think the licesing models and pricing are more interesting.

    [–] Shareni@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    And how is SEL less for a rich person than RHEL?

    [–] steersman2484@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

    I guess all of the mentioned are for rich people?

    [–] steersman2484@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

    Thats what I would choose, from left to right:

    RHEL, Mint, Arch, LFS

    Might also switch the last two

    [–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

    Linux is neat

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

    No it isn't

    [–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    The last one should have been this

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Ponyos, is in fact, GNU/Ponyos, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Ponyos. Ponyos is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, that version of GNU which quite nobody uses today is called Ponyos, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    There really is a Ponyos, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Ponyos is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Ponyos is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Ponyos added, or GNU/Ponyos.

    I think BSD should not be excluded from this chart.

    [–] ordellrb@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

    ~~always has been~~ has been since 1992, before that it was *nix

    [–] robocall@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    So what you're saying is...?

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 21 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Everyone should use Linux. Its a joke so don't take that literally.

    [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I kinda wanna inflict windows ME on my worst enemies.

    [–] Klaatu@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Well that’s just cruel and unusual punishment.

    [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

    I feel like I shouldn't judge.

    but some fetishes make it really hard not to.

    [–] passepartout@feddit.de 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    It's a reference to the latest fireship video... I think:

    I literally am the creator. How could I be wrong?

    [–] sunstoned@lemmus.org 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Wild how you happened to have this totally original idea days after this exact diagram structure was in a video posted by a channel with 3M subscribers :) crazy coincidence

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 5 months ago

    I do not watch Fireship. Sometimes ideas are just not that original.

    [–] DriftinGrifter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago

    missing 9front bsd's and freedos

    [–] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

    It's not all Linux. It's all penguins (and maybe Linux too).

    [–] lugal@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

    Who else landed on Hannah Montana Linux?

    [–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago

    Look, I love the idea of Linux but unless you have your head in the sand it’s obvious that Linux takes a good deal of technoliteracy to use.
