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.

    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.

    Ahh until something hangs when updating grub. Had it happen twice over the last couple of months. No real biggie as it's not the hardest thing to recover from / easy enough to pull my config and rebuild.

    Maybe it's me, maybe it's Nixos or Grub.

    Why would you update grub?

    Also I am not sure if I am even using grub. Does systemd have a bootloader?

    Normal people don't change their bootloader that often.

    Yeah, systemd-init. Pretty sure the GUI installer uses systemd-init -- never broke once for me.

    I'll probs have to migrate back over, grub will be written to on every rebuild for what I'm assuming is adding entries. Not sure of the inner workings all I know is it's caused me headaches a couple of times now.

    [–] Johanno@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

    Yeah I have the gui install. Stable as fuck

    That's why I use Gentoo. If something breaks I just boot system from external drive and solve the issue. Or even if bootloader breaks I can use kernel from external drive, but boot into main system.
