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 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!

    Well, it will be slightly different. AMD releases open source drivers. That's why it works so much better. Nvidia releases proprietary ones and let's the community handle the open source ones. To the end user, there probably won't be much difference eventually, but it does hurt progress so they'll always be slightly behind where they could be.

    One of the latest developments is an open-source Nvidia driver developer being hired by Nvidia and continuing their work on it, so it's technically not fully true anymore. They'll definitely stay behind for a while longer but it seems to finally be looking good for once.
