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!

    8.10 was the last good Ubuntu. (It also had the best default wallpaper ever)

    If you look at the "improvements" in every release since, you'll notice that shit like they do currently isn't an accident:

    9.04 integrated web services into the main user interface.
    9.10 integrated Ubuntu One (Ubuntu's OneDrive, upgradable for money) by default and introduced the slooooow Ubuntu Software Center
    10.04 integrated an interface to post on social media
    10.10 added app purchases in the Software Center
    11.04 made Unity the default
    11.10 removed Gnome as fallback to Unity
    12.04 introduced the buggy HUD
    12.10 added the famous Amazon ad lense to it by default

    and it goes on like this...

    Looks like a NiN album cover.

    Trisquel GNU/Linux, is Ubuntu with all the non-free packages removed. Don't see any of that stuff.

    I also am very fond of 8.10. It was my first exposure to Linux :)
