    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…”

      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.

      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.

    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.
