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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • Β 

    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 remove France.

    Man, the lack of a sense of humor in this thread is palpable. Can cut the harrumph with a knife.

    When the same belittling joke is retold thousands of times, it tends to lose its edge for all but a few people.

    Some people just don't have a sense of humor πŸ€·β€β™‚

    I spent the day yesterday trying to get kubuntu to update to the new LTS on a friend's laptop. All because plasma5 was being slow at login. Well, after a few hours, it was finally updated and we spent another 2 trying to find out why plasma6 was now slow.

    The whole time I was thinking "why the hell did the update require the command-line" and "this feels like punching myself in the face". I wanted a quiet, productive saturday and spent it on linux instead.

    Ubuntu is not ready for non-technical folk in these cases. Without me as support, my friend would've been lost on the "most user-friendly distro".

    Linux is amazing tech and the ecosystem built around it is better than windows and mac for many things, but still fails at random, supposedly simple tasks. Yes, windows and mac too, but it's much more visible on linux.

    Matt Parker also wrote a linux driver himself! Much respect.

    B/c you're using ubuntu. I switched to debian and I don't have to deal with this snap/apt nonsense. In fact I've gained flatpaks in the software UI.

    It used to have a graphical updater. I don't know why they did away with it...

    It's tempting to crank things up to 11 with virginity jokes. That one always gets the linux spaces roaring.
