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.
  • 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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Although I'm French, I still laugh at the stupid memes by the English speaking internet that make fun of my people. Then again, there is a sense of justice in imagining people falling for this. 😁

    This is very much the Linux version of the old tricking gamers to alt+F4 gag.

    My favorite was when I was teaching a friend Squad, and we were in a vehicle. I explained you hit the F keys to change seat (which is true), so F1, F2, F3, etc. Noticing that seats 1, 2 and 3 were filled, I then told him he can hold down alt to swap seats faster. He then immediately quits the game xD

    Bro, the Counter-Strike devs put porn in the game. I’m surprised they were all able to get away with it.

    Huh? Oh no, dude it’s easy. Hold alt and press f4 and it brings it up. Then just browse it with the s and d keys.

    Bahahaha! Half the lobby is gone!

    How do you think this is making fun of your people? It's making fun of non-French people that would want to "remove the French language pack" because they're not French

    This is not making fun of french people, but this might trick people who laugh at french people. That made me smile I must admit.

    Nice try, but we know the French don't speak English.

    They speak Esperanto.

    True, like the Brits and the Americans we're mostly to proud to learn a foreign language
