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!

    As someone who has never tried Linux, this meme has done more to make me want to give it a try than anything else Linux users have thrown at me so far. The fox is very convincing. I might step into the back of an unmarked van if it asked me to.

    I'm running openSUSE because I like lizards.

    NixOS is probably a bit more confusing than most Linux distros, but it has a huge amount of advantages too. It has very up to date software and probably never has dependency issues.

    That's par for the course for me. I'm the type that'll start a video game on the hardest difficulty for a challenge and then my pride won't let me lower the difficulty so I just quit under the guise of disliking it.

    Then you probably shouldn't use Nix. Maybe try another distro if you haven't already.

    It's too late, his pride won't let him go any other distro.

    Give him GUIX instead.

    Foxes are like that though.

    They look cute and cuddly... The trustworthy kind, then they bite your hand off and laugh at you.

    Some of them are on fire too!
