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.

    He's the one who should ask for help nicely.

    1. He's the one asking for help.
    2. This is a 100% free and extremely complex piece of technology built by very smart people, so chances are that he is the problem and not the kernel.
    3. Always be nice, even if the product is the problem. Specially when it is given to you for free.
    4. People are answering to him with the same attitude he used to ask for help. You get what you give.

    Imagine you clean your friend's house for free because you're a good friend. 2 hours later he calls you and says "What the fuck am I supposed to do with the shoes you forgot to pick from the living room?".

    Can you even call that asking for help? He's clearly just bitching.
