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.

    smug linux users

    That might have been me 20 years ago, but these days I don't give a fuck what you use. If Linux is your thing and you have the passion, you'll gravitate towards it yourself just like I did. I don't need to push anyone into the cult. We aren't all like that.

    The cultish people are most likely still in the honeymoon phase. The veterans know how annoying and sometimes rough the OS is, and acknowledge it, but stick with it anyway.

    And yet... this meme popped up in my feed despite not being subscribed to linuxmemes. So there are still plenty of snobs.

    It's normal human behaviour. From vegans, iphone users, xbox gamers, ford owners, owners of automatic watches being snobs about quartz watches, ...

    Still annoying and unwelcoming for outsiders though.
