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.

    But it is, it's very reliable. So long as users don't install anything, and there's a quality paid antivirus solution and windows 11 gets blocked then very little will affect these installs.

    As for security? Who cares. They're checking email and using Facebook. They're not running critical software, and as for reliability... Let me tell ya from an admin standpoint Linux is far from reliable, there's a very good reason companies pay money for support.

    Yeah, no shit sherlock, if you don't use YOUR computer, it's never going to break.

    Trick is to try live off live USB mode, learn from old textbooks, pen and notepads and a phone with less than 1gb data, to record stuff. Now we call it hard mode, but really it's "just the norms" haha

    You get really crap at typing keywords and Google image search and really good at looking through indexes and table of contents for the right chapter.

    What I meant in this case was spyware. My father in law no matter how much protection I put in place always manages to install SOMETHING. He'll even override the antivirus telling him the app is suspicious. He only goes on stock sites and business crap and sees no ads. Its always a casino game or something stupid like that. No idea where it comes from

    Hmm, in my experience it always comes with an ad somehow... Nowadays there are ads that seems legit things 😂
