  • 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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Huh, so that's why Hurd doesn't work? They just expected it to run on some alien tech?

    The first response to the latest release is Everything's broken (was: Debian GNU/Hurd 2023 released!) and they pretty much beg you to only run it in a VM. So we can safely assume it's going to be stable until the end of the year. #2024YearOfHurdOnDesktop

    "Everything's broken" / "only run it in a VM". Where have I heard that before? Oh yes. ReactOS.

    Totally different OS project with some remarkable similarities, apparently.

    ReactOS has a head start. Who will win?

    Popcorn, anyone?

    (But seriously, I'd very much like both to do well.)

    Sometimes you got to take a leap of faith 🫣🐂🐃🦬 🤣

    postscript : the guy who said everything was broken, seemed to just have had a broken filesystem, ironically the advantages of a microkernel like hurd led to him even being able to boot without a kernel panic() 🤯 🤔

    Could someone explain hurd to me? Who develops it, what makes it different? Is it a microkernel or unikernel?
