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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    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 remove France.

    for the most part i don't care, but really, all those fucking terminals i left open, i know they're open, that click per window of yes close has never been helpful

    [–] Sabata11792@ani.social 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

    The program 'btop' is currently running in this session. Are you sure you want to close it?

    [–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

    i'll prob just start running pkill konsole before shutdown. was thinking of pkexec /sbin/shutdown -h now on a button, but it is kind of nice having some of my apps recover on reboot.

    [–] Sabata11792@ani.social 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

    I just don't shutdown until I get a big backlog of updates. I have to remount my SSD with my games on it every time, then tell steam.

    It's a screenshot of a screenshot in a video? What's that shield?

    [–] omniman@anarchist.nexus 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

    It's a screenshot of a video that I did

    [–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

    You did the screenshot, or the video? Or both?

    Ah I completely forgot that it was a separate extension, I only use it in smarttube πŸ˜‚

    [–] moonburster@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

    Windows after pressing shutdown and update: you wanted to use me still right????

    [–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 50 minutes ago

    Shutdown isn't shutdown anymore, so it has to reboot for the updates. After the reboot, though, there's no longer a shutdown pending.

    [–] JATtho@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

    Just do sysrq+s, sysrq+c (triggers panic) and flip the power switch for instant power off.

    goddamn generation loss-ass meme.

    My Windows is more like "I am scheduling the restart. Pray I don't schedule it any sooner."

    [–] saltesc@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago (3 children)

    Mine will do the restart and boot into Linux.

    Windows Updates are always like that. Halfway through it's got to restart, bootloader picks Linux, Windows doesn't get to finish the other half of its update til the next time it's chosen.

    [–] p_consti@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

    You can configure Grub to boot into whichever entry you last selected. Makes rebooting much more convenient

    [–] notthebees@reddthat.com 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Is Linux higher in your boot priority?

    [–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Linux is higher in any priority.

    [–] timik_pipik@lemy.lol 3 points 23 hours ago

    Always has been.

    [–] hansolo@lemmy.today 16 points 1 day ago

    When I had a dualboot, that's how I ordered it.

    On my work PC I disabled automatic restarts and I'll just hibernate it for weeks at a time, keeping my work stuff open. Convenient, and I can install updates when I choose to.

    [–] callyral@pawb.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    me turning off the power supply: (i didn't have anything open so hopefully it's fine...)

    [–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

    It's much less risky than it used to be. Journaling filesystems reduce the risk of filesystem corruption to near zero and are fairly ubiquitous now on non-removable media.

    [–] RazTheCat@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Windows just randomly installing updates only when I'm working on something with a customer.

    [–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

    one of the reasons I'm moving away. pisses me off so much at work, I don't even want it at home

    [–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 89 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    I like how you censored systemd

    [–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    People need to learn that it's ok to say systemd on the Internet and stop self censoring

    [–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Let's not get carried away. Fuck and shit are ok, but I draw the line at s*****d

    Yes, let's keep this community family friendly. I could do without such obscenities.

    [–] swagmoney@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

    system deez nuts

    [–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

    windows: installing updates, do not power off

    me: the fuck you are dismantles laptop and rips out battery

    Linux: shutdown now

    [–] Squiddork@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

    Managed to wreck my NVMe drive with an unsafe shutdown on linux the other week, gave it a few hours for the self check, booted back into the distro and has been running fine ever since.

    Pretty sure windows would've just set the computer on fire at this point.

    [–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Linux is so strong I turn it off from the power button. Saving 5 seconds.

    [–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    That's weak. I always pull on the power cord until the plug comes out. That shuts it down in a second flat.

    [–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

    I was talking about a laptop with non-removable battery of course! I turn off my desktop via Zigbee remote hooked to Home Assistant which flips a Zigbee power switch that the AC power cord is hooked up to. Even faster death than going under the desk and unplugging the power cord. Even just unplugging itself takes time.
