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!

    options and settings get removed left and right,

    That is bad but what bothers me more is that they get moved every time they publish a new version and for no real reason considering the average person won't access them anyway.

    They want even those power users that are used to tweaking the OS to not tweak the OS and just get used to the new defaults (whatever they might be). A perfect example being no thin taskbar in Win11. Why? IDK, you tell me ๐Ÿคท. Not everyone has a FullHD monitor (I don't), but hey, maybe you need to buy a new one ๐Ÿ˜’. Consumerism maybe behind this, but I can't be certain.

    In any case, most users will eventually get accustomed to the new defaults. Very few users will say "f this" and switch to another OS and they don't actually care about those users, cuz they would have switched eventually anyway (if it wasn't for this, some other thing most probably).
