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 wish every time someone talked shit about operating systems they woke up having switched OS with their grandmother.

    Good thing I installed Mint on her PC then.

    I called her and convinced her to switch to DOS. Now you can play Chuck Yeager’s air combat. You’re welcome.

    Same lmao, but for both my grandparents

    They still haven't noticed anything different.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    They definitely have, they are just being nice.

    You gravely underestimate my grandparents' inexperience with tech.

    Mint is just Windows 10 but Linux anyway for normal use

    I would be so okay with this. My grandmother was a boss with a badass gaming rig.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    What does that mean? Have the OS she had? Windows 10, I personally debloated it haha

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

    No fair you cheated. She clicked an update for windows 11 and she loves Cortana!

    [–] Manifish_Destiny 2 points 11 months ago

    She can't rice worth shit.

    I don't think my grandmother used computers

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

    I would have iPadOS 💀 Thankfully I hate all OS's equally.

    Amen. Getting tired of this pointless bashing. They each have their flaws. I would love to be all-in on Linux but will probably never get there.
