Sister communities:


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.

    This. Even the command-line is extremely simple and convenient once you are familiar with it.

    It's so much more complex and frustrating to try and come up with words to explain to someone the steps to do anything on a Windows GUI... browsing through menus clicking this thing here, right-clicking here that, going through tabs, dragging this to there... go to "this" -> "that" -> "whatever"... and then to only realize you misremembered the exact location and have to look it up to make sure.

    Or maybe they changed the location slightly in the last Windows update because "reasons". More than once I've been searching how to do something on Windows 10 and found outdated instructions with setting panels that don't exist anymore.
