1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

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.

Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

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 figures

We 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.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

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.

You know, I don't get this joke. I have been using Linux and BSD since 2019, and the only incident I ever had was with sndio(7), and that was because I decided to switch to the -current branch of OpenBSD without heeding the warnings.

Apart from that, whether I was using ALSA, PulseAudio, PipeWire, JACK, or OSS (on FreeBSD), I always had a perfect experience.

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The joke is they can't hear them because their audio broke. You're overthinking it. Lol.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, that bit's funny. I mean the running joke about Linux audio being bad.

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

Oh. To be fair, the PulseAudio days started off REALLY shit and JACK/ALSA had the limitations of "locking" an audio device to a specific process/application, so it used to be much rougher.

Ever since pipewire came along, it's been really solid.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 4 weeks ago

Just had a random occurance of pipewire not allowing me to switch my audio back to my headphones (played some music through speakers before) through the settings. Had to switch it using the terminal but then it worked. Took about 10 minutes to figure out

[–] sundaymidnight@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

what is Pipeware? only install other thing, Linux is rich of alternatives (you don't have to cry for convincing to MS/Apple)

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

My god, there's so many comments

Now run it on a pi zero

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

Apart from the occasional 100% VOLUME Noise Bang that I get into my Headphones (disregarding the volume I have set), pipewire works pretty well, consistently.

[–] Underwaterbob@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, this and a bunch of nearsighted VST developers are the only things keeping me from switching to Linux entirely anymore. Things have definitely gotten better on the Linux side of things, and definitely gotten worse with Windows, so I feel like it's only a matter of time.
