  • 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!

    What is the difference between that and simply reboot? Does systemctl reboot have any benefits?

    Wondering the same

    Edit: after a quick google session it seems like usually the reboot command is linked to systemctl so it should be pretty much the same thing as far as I understand.

    reboot is linked (aliased) to your init program. In the case you are using systemd then it's equivalent to systemctl reboot.

    reboot is generic and calls whatever init program you use.

    There are more than one init. Like for example GNU Shepherd.
