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!

    Using Linux is often about ethics, it just doesn't make you a good person.

    Yeah, a user is passive. Now if you contribute to FLOSS projects, either with money or knowledge, then we can talk about your ethical superiority (I totally don't btw, can't afford the money, and don't have the knowledge)

    I bought a fully spec'd System76 laptop. Does that count?

    I also give some money to KDE from time to time, so I know that counts.

    I'll allow it.
