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.

    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.

    How I feel after removing the system itself (it was all bloat) (I can now live a carefree life, free of computers)

    [–] bali10050@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

    The root folder contains mostly everything, including the system

    [–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    I usually just eat the system

    [–] bali10050@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

    I usually just eat the hard drives, I don't like the taste of the batteries and the capacitors

    [–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

    I mean the physical system

    first time trying Linux, installed Ubuntu. Over a few months I made a few mistakes but nothing major... untill I tried to delete VLC. Saw on some random forum that something called MKV was better. Googled how to delete a package and it turns out I deleted every dependency for VLC and not VLC itself. Totally nuked everything.

    Did something similar when I was still learning Linux. Had some issue with Python. Decided to reinstall it. Did a force remove and my computer restarted immediately. I was brought back into a shell but basically nothing worked right. Turns out Python is a dependency for a lot of things in Ubuntu. Who knew? :D

    The time I sudo chown -R conc:conc / because why bother with perms

    Good enough for MS-DOS, good enough for me.

    You feel like Willem DaRapper?

    [–] bali10050@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

    I feel as if I have achieved something great, something extraordinary

    I literally just tonight tried to move some virtual disks and mounts around on a VM and caused it to become unbootable.

    Luckily I had all the important configs backed up with rclone so it was easier to just recreate the VM for me.

    The ultimate debloating

    500GB drive costs what? About $40?

    [–] bali10050@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

    It was never about the money

    I usually just eat the hard drive

    [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

    Just think of all the hentai you can fit on the drive once you delete all the bloat!

    [–] introvertcatto@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    I can delete system32 folder on archlinux and run sudo rm -rf /* on windows

    How i feel after removing all the bloat from my system (i own a mac and deleted my downloads folder)

    [–] bali10050@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

    How can you use a mac? It feels like a really unoptimised gnome, and your keyboard is all messed up

    Scooping up a root folder alias without noticing and dumping it in the trash icon.
