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 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!


    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's that supposed to say? Or what I'm not understanding?

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    It translates to "free of charge" or something to that end.

    Ubuntu is a Bantu (broad language family of about 600 African languages including Zulu) term meaning something like "humanity" or "community"

    Near as I can tell, Granel is borrowed from spanish and in isolation would mean "grain"

    "A granel" in Spanish means "in bulk". It's used when you go to a store and you put however much of whatever you need in a bag. Usually done with veggies.

    "Ubuntu a granel" means "Free of charge" in Kinyarwanda (according to Google Translate).

    Edit to add: It's spoken in Rwanda.

    It's like "take as much as you want".

    This was outside a minimarket
