  • 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.

    I liked Vista (I was never a RAM peasant & I liked the glass theme) and hated XP.

    I was also always sad how Me was brutally sodomised by shitty third party drivers (who just renamed 98 drives).

    I considered W8 and 11 just as mediocre moneygrabs or maybe a marketing stunt.

    Linux isn't an upward curve, either. It mostly is, but those krackle-pops have to put a dent in the curve.

    That's not completely true, in Linux there are many points where old software sucks and new software isn't ready for mass adoption. Like when everyone knew x11 was deprecated but nothing supported Wayland (to this day major WMs like cinnamon and xfce still haven't switched over and most small wms never will). It gets better over time but there are dips in quality and Linux devs do sometimes make mistakes.

    True, Linux is both the best and the worst at the same time.

    The Base OS is great, but the apps are mostly terrible, with a few notable exceptions.

    I would rather describe Windows as a dampened oscillation with an undefined steady state.

    Win10 is not that bad. And Me was never as bad as Vista or (especially) 8. Also, Linux is not a linear curve, it's stepped.

    ME was the worst. DOS based windows 9x in a world with Win2k and XP launched only 1 year later

    ME Was DOA even if it had been a "flawless" continuation of 98SE

    y'all it's supposed to be a timeline, a hand drawn one too, that's why 8 is where it is. you guys are taking this way too seriously

    Windows Vista was better than 8 and 10, a lot of legacy devices in industry kept extended Vista support for years and years.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

    Having used both, Windows Vista was much worse than windows 8.

    finally someone realizes windows 8 is better than windows 10

    ...these comments don't seem to share the same opinion
