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.
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
sudoin 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.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. 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.

If linux distros were WW2 tanks.
Linux Mint - M4 Sherman
Sturdy, reliable, easy to build and maintain
Ubuntu - T-34
Easy to build, does what you want it to but terribly unreliable and tends to break down after a while
Arch - Tiger
Hard to build and takes too long, works great in design but in practice it just breaks down, over riced causing it to be unstable
Debian - Challenger
The best, usable in any situation, fairly easy to build and mighty reliable.
Linux Lite - M24 Chaffee
Fast, small, easy to build and unusually reliable for a light distro.
CentOS - Char B1
Outdated but still a beast of a distro.
The fact you know this much about Linux distros and WW2 tanks might actually might actually make you the nerdiest of the nerds.
Dude this is awesome, and as a Linux nerd and tank nerd, a great comparison!
I find Rocky not being here at all funny.
Slackware - T-55 or M3 Stuart
Outdated and should have been dead and gone a long time ago, but somehow still in service in a few places and stable
