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.

    True that. Back when I was using Windows I had a problem where I couldn't log in to my Microsoft account through the apps (only through the browser). It was a problem because I couldn't even create a user account. When I tried to file a support ticket through tje included app... it would prompt me to sign in to my Microsoft account. Couldn't figure out what the problem was myself as everything I had to work with was an ambiguous numerical error code. Trying to search for an answer online only resulted in the exact kind of posts you've described, clearly written by people even more clueless than I was, but pretending they're experts. Never actually resolved it, then switched to Linux and never looked back.
