Community rules

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!

    There are actually only two kinds of windows apps that don't run on Linux: Those made not to run on Linux on purpose, and those that were made by so bad programmers that you'll be amazed how fast the "fixme" messages scroll in the terminal window from which you started wine. I'm working with one of the latter, and I'm happy that I just finished the last project with it. This piece of software is plain shit. And it looks like they don't intend to fix their shit.

    It's not exactly on purpose, but Wine is still missing a lot of hardware level translation, like native SATA for example, so... ๐Ÿคท.

    I'm not talking about limits in low-level hardware support. I'm talking e.g. about games with anti-cheating software or productivity software with invasive license managers that are made not to run under anything but Windows.

    Ah, yes, do agree about that.
