  • 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 sudo in 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.

    Arch belongs in good for beginners. It has an entire site dedicated to its manual

    [–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 36 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    I agree with list. I set my 98 year old grandma up on Kali as her first ever computer a month ago, and she's already hacked into the Department of Energy.

    [–] Janx@piefed.social 8 points 3 months ago

    She stole my power! Next, she'll be hacking time...

    OP is inciting violence

    [–] mastod0n@lemmy.world 56 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    Today OP woke up and chose violence

    [–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

    If they truly wanted violence, they would have put one of the good ones in the S category

    Pop!_OS rises above C due to fancy window tiling but falls short of A because it has a stupid exclamation mark and unnecessary underscore in its name?

    [–] bizzle@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    It feels like they want to be Panic! At the Disco

    I loved how, as a beginner, Gentoo used to update all of my packages during the day, while I was working, using my 16 cores 100%. That's what I call high-level multitasking.

    [–] varnia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    Updating Gentoo kept my feet warm during the night.

    I run Slackware, which also needs compilation for additional software.
    Not for me, but for my cat.

    Apparently Debian ranks lower than the distros that are based on it.

    What ranking are you using to arrive at this conclusion?

    [–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 39 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    snaps are awesome πŸ”₯ W ubuntu

    I've said it before, but NixOS technically isn't bad for beginners (assuming they'll never operate another Linux distro - but let's be honest, after you learn Nix, why would you?).

    Unlike other distros, you can't break Nix. You never need to reinstall. Sure, the advice you find online pertaining to FHS will confuse you, and you'll wonder why the fuck anyone would ever need to set up a "snapshot", but it won't matter.

    You'll spend your days showing your friends and family your girthy flake, you'll tell them how you use home manager to create a shell script INSIDE your home.nix module so it's declarative - they wont understand, but happy that at least you're over your catboy phase.

    [–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    you're over your catboy phase

    Is there a UwUntu- or Nyarch-like NixOS fork to smoothen or eliminate the transition from catboy?

    This is hilarious and totally legit

    [–] washbasin@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago

    I love your energy and enthusiasm. GTFO.

    [–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

    Putting Pop in B tier has such a chaotic energy, I can't help but respect that. It works on so many levels.

    [–] mech@feddit.org 12 points 3 months ago

    Slackware on S Tier.
    Yep, this list is truth.

    [–] MasterOKhan@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    One nuance, NixOS is only beginner friendly when you use flakes

    [–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 17 points 3 months ago

    And when you are not a beginner

    Youre a monster

    [–] germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Istg some of these symbols have to be made up, there can’t be that many distros with blue circle + white emblem as logo

    [–] blinfabian@feddit.nl 9 points 3 months ago

    its awesome that like 99% of tech logos are mainly blue. it totally doesnt drive me insane :3 πŸ‘

    [–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

    I can’t tell if this is supposed to start fights, but it is going to

    The fact that people downvote this taking it seriously….

    [–] juipeltje@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago
