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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    are those real? I don't believe anyone ever said "it's like linux but it works."

    [–] eager_eagle 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

    it does work though, on windows i can see ads and intrusive crap all the time. Linux distros don't bother you at all, it's like linux is not even trying at this point.

    Ubuntu used to do ads pretty well, even before microsoft got better at them, haven't used that distro in a while, so can't confirm if that's the case still, but you might want to check it out.

    That's 100% someone trolling Linux users.

    I think they're tongue in cheek.

    I'm going to argue that it's very unlikely any of those people are friends or colleagues. It didn't ask if you recommend Windows on social media or forums.
