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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, 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.

    If you have a problem with any particular system, express it in a way that doesn't denigrate its users. Some people prefer it. Some don't have a choice.

    And NEVER call anyone brain-damaged for any reason.

    And NEVER call anyone brain-damaged for any reason.

    even if they have brain damage?

    You don't get to speculate about that. Now drop it.

    why can't I? they obviously get to speculate about why users will run away from Ubuntu when anyone points out failures in their OS of choice.

    I merely speculated that there were physiological abnormalities that may be contributing to the continued support of a corporate facsimile of Linux.

    "But they did it too!" will not fly with me as a valid defense coming from an adult person. Your behaviour is your own responsibility. If you disagree with something, either respond in a polite manner or downvote and move on. Do not accuse others, either individuals or groups, of having a mental deficiency, brain damage, or aberration; and the fact that you would try to minimize what you said shows that you understand why I have an issue with it.

    Be nice, or leave.
