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.

    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.

    What are the important, distinguishing differences between RHEL8 and REHL9 one should probably know.

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    One is divisible by 3 and not 2, and the other is divisible by 2 and not 3

    This is very important when checking if your software packages are compatible

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

    Correct!

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Explain this

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    That is a high compatibility version for when you need to work with many different softwares at once

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    But it's 4.5, which is like (9 ÷ 2) so that kinda contradicts your first statement, doesn't it?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

    Not at all! Since it's half of 9, it can therefore work with half of the software RHEL 9 is compatible with, but since the 4 is also divisible by 2, it can handle all of that software as well.

    It's really quite simple, I don't see how this could be confusing at all...
