  • 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.

    A rough translation of the principle of Ubuntu is "humanity towards others". Another translation could be: "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity". (lemmy.ml)

    First screenshot is from here.

    Second screenshot is from me updating an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS system today.

    how will I be able to comment “Ubuntu bad” in every thread and feel like a genius for not using “normie” distros?

    1. Ubuntu Dash including Amazon ads not too long ago; it was not pretty, security-wise.
    2. The whole fiasco behind Unity and Mir, and Canonical's propensity to reinvent the wheel at home.
    3. Snap. Anything [wait... wait... wait...] Snap.

    That said this is usually fixed by upgrading it into Mint, and Mint is pretty much a "normie" distro, so you don't need to go out of your way to install Gentoo or say "I use Arch BTW".

    EDIT: in other words there's enough shit to throw at Ubuntu, we (people in general) don't need to make it up like OP is doing.

    I agree with all three. I always removed (not too long ago) all those lenses with apt, install whatever display server I want with apt and use apt to remove all traces of snap. I still use it, though. For dudes using gnu/linux at home Ubuntu is just Debian without the drama.

    That's what I did, too - it isn't like there is no choice within Ubuntu. We could still use it to manufacture some outrage towards Ubuntu, and feel like a genius for using another distro; it would be silly but not completely irrational... unlike using Ubuntu Pro for that, the later is just witch hunting.
