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'm sorry, i've been out of the loop, and i haven't used windows on my own machines since XP quit being supported, but, fucking ads in the OS. i don't know if you're having me on or not.

    It's ads for other Microsoft products, and some things that will very obviously get ads in the future, like news, but actually don't and nobody can explain how.

    So yes, there are ads, but not the way you probably imagined. (Yet?)

    Imagine playing solitaire and everytime you flip the draw pile a 30 second unskippable online casino ad plays.

    I have seen mobile games that are like this.

    Some even happen to be popular, so I have no idea what people consider fun.
