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!

    It is not that complicated and there are plenty of tools to generate man pages from other formats. Besides, this is about the dev not knowing what a man page even is.

    Stuff like this is why I'm really glad I was a hard ass about learning "the right way," and refused to let myself use a full IDE and instead rely on a terminal setup. Crazy how many people (with tons of experience) can be missing basic knowledge about how *nix environments run

    I can't imagine working with linux and not being comfortable with its most fundamental conceit: interactive ttys that you can do anything from. It's like being a Windows user and not knowing about the Start menu
