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.
  • ย

    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.

    Most issues stand, and fuck Windows generally, but honestly I don't quite understand the issue with dropping support for older versions of Windows. Linux distros also do this, so much software does this, it's just not practical or reasonable to manage all your versions of your software forever.

    Windows 10 has been out a long time. Good luck getting people to move. They are dead set in there ways.

    It also doesn't help that Windows 11 has a terrible reputation

    Yeah, that's how time works. Yes they're pushing a move and 11 sucks but end of support is not like that any more than Ubuntu 12.04 is, and that's been around even longer.

    Ubuntu has been end of life for quite some time.
