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.

    I disagree that its a reason why linux will never be used commonly. Windows and macos both have the same issue and its never made things over complicated.

    Right, but how many of those applications are limited to a single platform? Conversely, how many of them are commonly used?

    Also, in addition to there being more than one FOSS application of a particular type, there are dozens of Linux distributions, window managers, and desktop environments. And this is with Linux usage being as low as it is. What is it, like 2%? Don't get me wrong, I love Linux and I've been using it in place of macOS for seven years. However, I do think there is at least some consolidation which could and should occur.
