- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- 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.
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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
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 remove France.

if you prefer drugs on the more legal side try guix :))))
I have read about guix, but I don't see any reason to switch from NixOS. Guix seems to be way less mature than Nix.
Besides this, I have dedicated a ton of time developing a framework that manages flakes on NixOS builds. There is no way I would start from scratch, just to leave systemd.
you can place the guix logo on a cake! (citation)
well, nixos has a guide for using their logo, in which they state that you must not put it on a cake (nixos branding guide, page 26), i thought it was a trademark, but they use a creative commons license that allows you to do that (i think) (citation)
but guix lets you take back your freedom! free from the shackles of the corporations!!
also wikipedia articles to read:
So, you are telling me that I should throw my time, developing tools for NixOS, out of the window because I will be more free on how to use a damn logo?
If you really feel the need of putting your favorite distro's logo on a cake, you probably need to touch some grass. Try to have a walk, to meet new people.
I understand, and support, the political aspect of your point, but the cake is a very bad example of the issue.
