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!

    Pls explain meme.. ๐Ÿฅน Am a Linux user, haven't experienced that ๐Ÿค” I don't see the fundamental difference between powering off Linux machine and restarting it. Presumably you'd have to power it on again at some point? Or is it that you'd have to wait for it to restart to power it off again? ๐Ÿค” Cause then it's pretty safe to hold the power button for hardware power off. Once it's restarted, all the user data is synced to disk. Hard power off before user login will not lose any important data 99.99% of the time.

    You could also just press the power button at the GRUB screen, assuming you have one obviously.
