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!

    Are those lot of things actually useful? I forcibly removed edge or most of its files anyway and had no issue. The links won't work obviously but that's a feature to me. Fuck edge and windows.

    Look I'm not going to defend windows or Microsoft. Personally I doubt its useful at all but it doesn't really matter. A broken dependency is a broken dependency.

    Even if it's a pet project from a bing exec that's completely unnecessary - if removing it will break things, an os geared towards a general public should prevent it from being removed.
