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!

    I mean it's what serves the back end of all these services in the first place.

    If Linux suddenly ceased to exist the internet and most devices we use and even rely on including android phones would become totally useless.

    I don't think you can say that something so key to our technological infrastructure is incompatible with reality.

    There is simply those of us who for whatever reason (commonly privacy and a level of control no other operating system outside maybe the BSDs offers) choose to use it for our personal desktop computing needs as well.
