- 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.

in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

First time installing Linux? What the fuck is this Ubuntu shit, that distro sucks. You really should try out Gentoo as your first distro.
Can't believe I fell for that as a kid. Wasn't even my first distro, but Gentoo for beginners is just hilarious
Gentoo is the final boss of Linux installs. (Linux From Scratch is the raid boss)
I installed it last year. After watching it compile for half an hour, I decided that a source-based distro was something I have no interest in daily-driving.
I think someday I’ll do a gauntlet of Linux installs back to back. Start easy: Ubuntu - Debian - Arch - Nixos - Gentoo - LFS. Not sure if I put Nixos right though. Tbf I’ve already done Debian so maybe I’ll start with Arch.
