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!

    I legitimately credit Compiz and CCSM for kick-starting my obsession with FOSS and probably doubling or more my salary by getting me on Linux earlier in life.

    I'm pretty sure I still have a decade old liveusb somewhere with a casper-rw Zorin install, all decked out with compiz desktop switcher animations and Tuxkart ๐Ÿคฃ

    I'd boot up that thing on school computers and mess around with Linux for fun back in the day

    Same! I started messing with Linux in my teens, but it wasn't until the early 30s that I actually got a job working with Linux, but once I did it fast tracked me to a much higher salary.
