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!

    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 can't imagine any reason to insult a Linux user on the basis of their Linux use. "You use a superior platform! You fool!"

    Explain that to someone who tells you: "no, bring back Window to my laptop" .. It's the sadest sentence I hear

    Usually the final blow is when they try to install an .exe file by double clicking it and it doesn't execute

    I remember when that happened to me way back when.

    These days, almost every computer user I know falls into one of three categories:

    • Already has the proclivities that would lead to active interest in Linux
    • Just uses their computer for web browsing and email and so would barely notice if their system switched to Linux
    • Is a gamer

    If the last, they either play a VERY few games that don't run on Linux; are convinced, incorrectly, that you can't game on Linux; or just don't care.

    edit: There are certainly exceptions, both within and outside of my social circle; however, they're definitely on the outskirts.
