Sister communities:

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 Support Communities are a trillion times more welcoming, kind and understanding of new people today than they were 10 and 20 years ago.

    I still am scared to ask questions, but at least when I finally have no choice and resign myself to asking a question.. its generally answered kindly, and if its not answered directly I'm at least put in the right direction. And that helps me build my own knowledge base, and helps me solve future problems on my own.

    Unlike when I did my first dip into linux a couple decades ago where you'd be called some creative combination of Windows/Microsoft and a sexual slur and told to go the fuck back to windows if you are too stupid to have been born without the complete comprehensive understanding of the terminal.

    I hope the community continues to improve, and welcome newbies and their problems like it currently does, so we can all grow and thrive together.

    Gaming communities can be incredibly bad. Everyone else is a jerk or moron who wasn't born knowing that doing X increases your DPS by 2.3% on alternate Tuesdays. DUH
