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.

    Not knowing how anything works

    I mean, that's how you start learning stuff - not knowing how something works

    Being scared by errors that you don't know how to get around or deal with

    Isn't that the case for every OS in existence? When something breaks, you don't know how to deal with it. Enter google/ddg/whatever

    Not knowing alternatives for your former favourite apps to do things quickly

    See point 1 - and yet there are Linux apps that let you do things quicker than Windows stuff. I can't imagine myself at this point having to use frigging photoshop to crop or add a border to a image when you could do that with a ´magick -crop´

    Wondering if you get the peripherals you currently own to run?

    Wasn't that the whole point of live images? Not that they will charge you for downloading them. And hardware support is infinitely better today than back in the day. Just look at what the folks at asahi did - that's nothing short of incredible
