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!

    I think the mangled English there is suggesting that some people don't care enough, and other people have enough money (to buy Windows).

    Not that it matters because who the fuck pays for Windows anyway? OEMs do, but not normal people. Everything since like Windows 7 has been a free upgrade, and normies get a new PC more often than that so get a copy with it.

    and other people have enough money

    Those usually buy apple stuff, so that's probably who it tried to mention

    OEMs do

    And they pass that on to the consumer lol.

    Not all computers are eligible for a free upgrade, my work desktop (windows 10) got a pop up about ending support & that my computer isn't eligible for an upgrade to windows 11.

    Edited to add: this post is so old idk why I commented. Sorry lol

    I seriously can't make sense of this meme... What is it trying to say? Why is the train smashing "Linux adoption"? It seems like this meme contradicts itself at every opportunity lol

    The meme actually means what it states. That people have money to buy Windows. Most people earn enough to buy their own OS.

    It is kind of a blindspot, you cant imagine a meme actually stating people having enough money on hand. And they do, most of them earn a living.

    Yeah, the sentence could have been worded better.
