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 miss mine. Still have 10 laying around, just no reliable converters to use them on usb only hardware. (DasKeyboard boards are an acdeptable alternative though)

    I wore down 1 spacebar cap in 10 y, but no issues what so ever apart from the wear on that 1 cap. (But I have a complete set spare caps as well ;) )

    Unicomp makes passable USB buckling spring keyboards. Not quite as rugged as the solid metal plate backed OGs, but a joy to type on.

    If you have like $25 you can cook up your own converter with a promicro and a connector. Look up "soarer's converter" on deskthority.

    If you have any trouble with that hit me up here or on discord (Mandarbmax) and I'll help you out or if you really can't do it I can cook you up a converter myself and mail it to you.
