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.

    Don't try to turn Gnome into something it wasn't designed to be.

    Don't tell me what to do. We all have our own preferences, that's the beauty of Linux.

    Personally, I have tried many different desktop environments with various customizations. I still think that GNOME + Extensions is the most beautiful and productive desktop experience for me.

    Even despite the obvious flaws of GNOME, I still find it easier to customize and configure to my personal preferences than other desktop environments.

    I think the point they were making was that Gnome is made for a touchpad / keyboard driven approach, so complaining that it's not something else or that it requires multiple extensions is pointless.

    If you use 15 extensions to get your perfect desktop and don't say a word, no-ones going to care, just don't complain when it breaks.
