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.

    Linux is not more secure really, it's just assumed to be so because it's less widely attacked for having less market share

    Nah, you have a user, it cannot mess with another user, by design.

    In windows you can do so many crappy things it's incredible, like rescue boot and just change the crowd strike executables with a notepad++ exe aaand you are "free!"

    The security holes ae trash too, you can't deny that. Corporate PCs are plagued with "anti virus" and other scanning softs, sending your every keystroke to some authentication server so see if no malicious intent is detected.

    If you want to do something efficient, Windows is no longer the way IMO.
