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!

    Most people still Google “Facebook” to login to Facebook.

    The general public won’t start using Linux until the computer they buy from their local big box store has it installed by default. Which for a brief moment nearly happened with netbooks.

    I know it's mostly because I'm in the middle of nowhere, most people I know don't know what OS they're running

    They don't even know what program they browse the internet with, manage documents with, nor view media with. They know what button to press. George Jetson is our reality.

    Wait, I'm lost here...what's the problem there? Maybe they wanna use the browser version and not the app (i haven't used facebook in ages, so I've no idea if the site now just funnels you into their desktop/mobile app as much as they can)

    I’m just pointing out the general tech ignorance in the world. There are generally people who think they need to go through Google to go to any other web page on the internet.

    Ahh, yeah, you're right in that case then
