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!

    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.

    Plot twist: The right side is actually just Linux furries having Vim vs Emacs and X11 vs Wayland debate/fight.

    [–] exu@feditown.com 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    And systemd vs other init systems, FOSS vs open source, GNU or not, Pipewire and PulseAudio, Windows...

    Pipewire and PulseAudio

    What is pipewire? Shouldn't this be alsa vs pulseaudio?

    Sir, it's 2024, not 2006.

    Pipewire is a more modern replacement for pulseaudio.

    I have never heard of alsa. Pipewire is supposed to be the better pulseaudio is it not?

    [–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Alsa is the very base of the Linux audio system. Pipewire and pulseaudio run on top of it. Back before pulseaudio it was directly used by software

    People are fighting over Wayland vs X11? I thought X11 wasn't dropped specifically for compatibility?
