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.
    •  

    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.

    Can't you just use it though distrobox and podman?

    [–] hottari@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (17 children)

    Not as easy or as convenient as yay -Sy appname

    [–] Nefyedardu@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    it actually is, you just append the distrobox command before it

    distrobox enter arch -- yay -Sy appname

    [–] hottari@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    A simple yay -Sy from Arch btw takes less computing power and doesn't depend on an external dependency.

    [–] CatLikeLemming@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

    Any reason not to just use yay? That's an alias for yay -Syu, which in and of itself, at least if I understood it correctly, is basically just pacman -Syu and from what I've read on the arch wiki -Sy is heavily discouraged.

    But then you stuck with arch. I've never had any software that wasn't a flatpak or in the Debian repos. I use Fedora.

    [–] hottari@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    I would say you are stuck on Fedora too, what is your point?

    I’ve never had any software that wasn’t a flatpak or in the Debian repos.

    There are quite a number of them, hence the reason for OP's meme.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Really? I honestly have never had that problem. Can you name a few? (I'm completely serious. Don't take this as sarcasm)

    [–] hottari@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

    There are so many software devs that package AURs because Arch has made it easy for them to do so. No need to give examples if you are totally fine with your brand of distro.

    But whether you'll hit the minor snag OP memes about depends on your software needs.
