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.

    And plugging highly suspicious USB drive into it...

    Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left "mystery" USB drives with media from the "future", themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn't wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.

    The next album is gonna be about, trojans, viruses, worms, RATS (not the one with the rubber room)

    And a 40minute PSA from your IT admin telling you DONT PLUG RANDOM STUFF INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!

    Once some guy on the street gave me a dvd. I stuck it into my computer and it was a documentary about how nfc payment microchips in the hand are the mark of the beast. Freaked me out.

    Why are both of the USB drives red?

    [–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 88 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Because choice is an illusion.

    [–] SirHery@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

    Both are Linux.

    You take the green USB, it's Ventoy.
    You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it's GParted.

    Ah, shit, TempleOS.

    Yes, I have TempleOS on my drive, why not, it's just a few MB.

    Linux Mint: The Better Ubuntu (tm)

    [–] Starbuncle@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

    I found that Pop!_OS (another Ubuntu fork) worked better with Nvidia crap out of the box. They both seem pretty good.

    People that chose the "red" drive ... Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, ... well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed ~~pills~~ drives for different distros and the ominous warning be like "you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit".

    I cannot even download Windows 11 ISO on my network, I am (my ISP is) blocked by Microsoft. So, problem solved, it's just red USB.

    [–] kogasa@programming.dev 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

    Microsoft blocks people from downloading stuff all the time for unknowable reasons. You have to either reset your IP or go through customer support to fix it. I did the latter and they did not tell me why I was blocked in the first place.

    Take the red USB and it always ends with you deep in a forum and the terminal app.

    That red USB looks exactly like my Linux installer one, recently upgraded to Mint 22!
