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!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    If I want to break my computer I should be able to break my computer!

    That's right! By worshipping the almighty penguin he gives us the power to make our expensive computers into useless novelty items.

    Look, if we want to spend 6 hours rebuilding our MBR/GPT, bootsector, and efi partition from scratch, using our grandfather's butterfly, we should be allowed to. Insert angry xkcd here.

    task managers creator added a function to kill the entire pc. but people reported it as a bug and someone else at Microsoft removed it

    Let's be honest. If you haven't broken your bootloader at some point in time, you haven't experienced Linux.

    [–] darthpenis69@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    I've broken my bootloader many times. I remember frantically looking up how to fix that online for the first time. Now I know not to do stupid things that could bork my bootloader.

    This kind of thing is a huge part of why I fell in love with Linux so long ago.

    Customizing your system to the point that no one else can use it?

    [–] cuantar@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

    lol, no. Being able to do what I want with it is what I have appreciated. It's like having a computer without that obnoxious glue in the screws so you can take it apart if you want to.

    You really can't uninstall edge in Windows? I knew that was a thing with IE back in the day.

    [–] darthpenis69@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    You can uninstall the newest version of edge in Windows. The newer edge is chromium based and it seems you can remove it now. However the previous version of edge that was built into windows could not be removed with traditional methods.

    [–] rcmaehl@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

    You can't uninstall edge without breaking things such as start menu search, widgets, bing AI, The upcoming co-pilot, and a lot more. I've personally been battling for people by creating MSEdgeRedirect, but there's been two to three attempts to break the project so far.

    This is quickly just becoming r/linuxcirclejerk
