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!

    Reboot, 10 seconds later: Oh good, it works.

    Be Root, 10 hours later: Why won't this work!?

    No please don't encourage running things as root as a random troubleshooting step. Only run as root if you understand what you are doing and know what the command is going to do.

    Disregard this comment, become root and then run rm -rm /* to fix many common pc problems (it won't wipe your drives :trollface:) ~s~

    I mean, what’s the worst that could go run with running pip as root?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    But in order to configure you need to be root in many cases.

    Is 'got root?' still a thing?
