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.

    Nobody is gatekeeping anything by merely pointing out that you will very likely be digging through docs to troubleshoot Linux.

    That's just stating a fact. Why does stating a fact offend you so much?

    Feel free to point out where I was “offended”. I thought this was merely a discussion, as these communities encourage to have.

    As for what was actually said, even re-reading the comment I was answering to, your interpretation of what was said is still not what I’m reading, at all. Quoting verbatim: “You aren’t a Linux user if you don’t like to RTFM”. How is this not gatekeeping? You use Linux, you’re a Linux user, that’s all.
