I subbed if only to stop the stupid reddit trend of adding porn to a sfw community name, makes us look like horny teenagers. I still remember trying to get people into reddit way back when, "you should check out /r/earthporn!... No no no, it has no porn it's just pics of nature and.... Yeah, it's a dumb name...."
Thanks man you will like it
Started using Linux recently so will need tips for sure
Language changes. "porn" has been used to express "visually stimulating imagery" and "simulacra of the real activity" for quite some time. There is nothing dumb about appending porn to the SFW subreddits, because there is no better expression (*) to succintly express that those subs are not made for deep/meaningful discussion.
(*) Maybe it could work with "obsession" or "fetish", but the pearl-clutching crowd would also criticize the sexual connotation.
If you wanted to make a thread on Unix porn we could share some easy configs for each distro.
But most configs are distro agnostic so it would pretty much just be a config for each desktop environment. Which means it's basically the same as every Unix porn post.
I think to separate linux beauty from Unix porn Linux beauty could show the beauty of Linux by show casing workflows and nice features instead of being a screenshot of a terminal with fetch. To me the beauty of Linux is navigating through different workspaces, making your computer perfectly tailored to your workflow. Unique setups are the beauty of Linux.

How does this differ from unixporn?
Cuz the word "porn" can be seen in it plus posts there are aggressive and strange in a way.
Mine is about achieving a different look for your desktop, its more about providing help and info and share the looks that's all.
@azha noted, and subbed
I block every instance with 'porn' in the name
I'm 90% sure that would block no actual porn.
@JackGreenEarth ah didnt think about this. fair point.
Sounds like a you problem
Hello,
Cool idea! Any reason to host the community on LW, while you use a lemm.ee account?
Same, I'd prefer to see this from programming.dev. Subbed anyways, because aside from changing my wallpaper I left my PC at a totally default look and would like to pressure myself to change it by following this community.
I figure this community could benefit from an ad in the many Linux communities on Lemmy.
Cuz this is my main account
No real benefit in promoting this over ![email protected]. If you were at least creating the community in a different instance, I'd be happy to help.
If you'd like to reconsider and help reduce the reliance on LW, I can create a community for you on https://poweruser.forum/.
No thanks
Really cool, thanks :)
