Sister communities:
Community rules (click to expand)
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 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.

I actually like Linux, but I'm considering just blocking all the Linux communities because it's so incredibly boring to just see you guys circle jerking all day long. We get it. We all get it.
My guy, you are on linuxmemes lmao
I came here hoping to see gnome and X11 memes. You know, actual Linux memes.
Instead I found "Windows bad" circlejerking.
Ubuntu bad?
Distros and package managers are bad. Reject modernity, embrace compiled source. Burn Lennart Pottering at the stake!
Go gentoo and get both!
Gentoo and Arch is for wanabees, the hardcore use Linux From Scratch as their distro.
These are the memes I come for
You need a book to tell you how to install Linux? I guess we were all a noob at one point.
I don't think the bank will accept "I need to install Firefox" as the reason for a loan to pay my electricity bill.
Joking aside though, Gentoo was a great experience for me to learn how Linux actually works.
Can't forget to bash snaps too!
Systemd also bad!
No, I'm on All, but a far higher percentage than most other content is just the same message in slightly different words on repeat, "Linux good, Binbows bad."
But have you heard the latest hilarious thing? Windows... BAD! Hahaha! My goodness, I'm sure you never could have imagined. Also, I use Arch, in case you were wondering.
Binbows isn't that bad, it's Michaelsoft as a company we should worry about.
I like you.
Hi on All, i'm the post of tom joad
They could use some memes making fun of our community instead of making fun of the rest.
Let's be honest, Linux isn't a viable option for a big portion of society. I love working in Linux but it's not perfect for those that aren't techsavy and need more than a browser.
Linux Mint is absolutely usable by most of the population. What it isn't good at is business sector stuff because that entire sector is captured by Microsoft and its proprietary ecosystem. If interoperability was the focus, it wouldn't be an issue. But capturing the population is the goal, so companies get these anti-user designs that lock you into their ecosystems. Maybe you need centralized development to achieve stuff like Azure and all its capabilities.
Why do so many memes seem to be about windows then? 🤔
It's kind of hard to tell since the Linux memes are in all the other communities as well.
I mean just go ahead and block it, why make this rant at all, if you are seeing it on All its because of the amount of Linux users on Lemmy.
You're talking to the deity of jokes himself. You think he's out of touch? No, it is linuxmemes who are wrong
I mean, I've got a 75% upvote ratio right now, so perhaps I'm not alone in thinking it's a bit excessive?
And whats the point? Should all Linux memes communities close so that you don't see them in All? Should people stop making Linux memes at all? What are you achieving with your rant? You don't like it. We get it. You and that 75% can block the community and move on.
I did. Go outside and breath for a bit, the weather is nice today.
Ah yes, this is literally the first time I visit Lemmy today after uni and the first post I see on All and that I interact with in more than a week but I am the one that has to go outside, not the person that apparently spends all day on Lemmy, so much so that is tired of seeing Linux memes on its feed. Have a nice day as well, and I truly mean it.
My guy, you got ratio'd by the guy pointing out you were on c/linuxmemes.
Since you are the main character of Lemmy, which Stallman meme shall we post for the millionth time? Perhaps we shall post about how it's stupid in 2023 to be using a macrokerenel architecture and that Linux is obsolete?
you're absolutely not. i daily drive linux and find all these memes cringy too (came here from "all" too if anyone's wondering)
Linux is the best OS for posting memes about Linux, cmv
Is TempleOS a joke to you?
Is it not?
We're on linuxmemes.
Then why are there so many Windows memes? :^)
I'm browsing all.
So like, you browse All, find communities minding their own business making little in-jokes, and pop in to say "hey assholes, I don't appreciate you talking about all this stuff you like talking about! How about you shut up so I don't have to skip past your posts when I'm deliberately skimming everything!"
Seems fair.
i'm using tilt controls!
Block it then. Don't waste your attention on posts that don't bring you joy.
Nobody asked, nobody cares, just do it.
This feels like an appropriate time to let you know that I use arch, btw.
+1
Feel free to block any communities you please, I personally block them even if they're fine because they fill up local/all feeds with content I do not understand/care about
