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 can't self-report what industry I'm in without potentially doxxing myself, but I can assure you he knows a lot less than he lets on.

    I don't care what variety of topics they have, a respectable techie and creator would know how to admit when they are inexperienced with something. Linus does not. And he cannot admit he's wrong unless he can somehow spin it to make him look more likeable.

    If you are seriously passionate about tech, save yourself the heartache and find a new creator/influencer. If you are just there for the content, enjoy it while there is still some element to it that is enjoyable. They are not on a sustainable trajectory.
