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!

    Where is Linux most popular?

    *points at server*

    Points at cellphones also, but fuck that I like the meme

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    And supercomputers. And most embedded devices powerful enough to run a full OS.

    Don't forget steam deck and most gaming consoles

    Most game consoles don't run Linux

    Though I love Linux with all my heart, i don't even recommend it to family. Mostly out of fear of having to provide tech support .

    [–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Are you not already tech support for your family?

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    No. I only know Linux. At least that's what I tell them.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    Gotta do that from now. Thanks for the advice.

    I do because I already am tech support and Linux is easier than windows. Now my close family uses Linux and very rarely needs any help

    [–] atmur 2 points 1 year ago

    Same here. I’m going to be tech support anyway, so they might as well be using an operating system that doesn’t break every 5 minutes like Windows. Aside from the occasional printer weirdness, I really haven’t had to do much. Linux just works.

    Isn't the OS that North Korea uses technically a version of linux?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    Red Star OS is Linux. v3 was based on Fedora and uses KDE.

    The first interplanetary kernel!

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    I don't know if windows is running out of our planet. But I know some Linux are in some satellite thing. So Windows is an earther problem

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    I pledge allegiance...

    Is this real?
