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!

    from when this shit comes from, 2000?

    6 years ago, I was using a USB wifi adapter with my desktop (my friends next door paid for internet and we paid them half the bill to share).

    I had picked this wifi adapter specifically because it had linux support, even though I used windows (I had an inkling I'd switch). So, I tried to switch but upon boot I couldn't wifi because the adapters module wasn't bundled by my distro so I had to instal 'dkms', but I couldn't do that without an internet connection...

    So yeah, it can still bite you.

    lol, could you realize your story would be the same if you just replaced relevant software names?

    Windows shipped with said driver.
