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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 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 remove France.

    sigh point 2 fits perfectly. The wider Linux community is full of people who's openly oust you if you if you don't know certain things or, beware, do not want to have to learn using a CLI but simply wish for GUI tools (in flippin' 2025!). The elite here are people who like to tinker with tech, or rather those with certain knowledge the broader public doesn't possess. On the other side are people who got other priorities than learning about the insides of an operating system, who get alienated by people who expect them to become CLI magicians as well because "it's easy". Completely ignoring how utterly lost most people feel at that moment.

    Everything you said after that is rhetorical bullshit that's also very common in the community and literally the reason I saw dozens of non-techy people reject Linux-based OS' after they encountered their first issue and looked for help. You're twisting my criticism of systemic issues in a way it looks like a personal failure of myself, because that's something / someone you can argue against. Your last few sentences are also shifting the goalpost, I never spoke about that exact behaviour you're describing there.

    I'm done with this BS, bye.
