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.

    So you like to pretend Windows rewriting your EFI entries and needing to be fixed is normal?

    This has nothing to do with not being able to fix it in seconds. But with Windows indeed being destructive and trying to damage dual boot setup. That's not a feature because you know how to handle it.

    They're not worth the effort, if you check their history they're either a troll or someone who is very full of themselves about their knowledge about Windows.

    Everyone should obviously assume that Windows rewrites your EFI entries as that is entirely normal and a thing only dumb people don't know? Other take from their profile is calling someone stupid and OS-illiterate because they didn't know PowerShell, I'm convinced they're a troll lol.
