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!

    In all honesty, I use the arch manual to troubleshoot all distros. It is well written and has the info you need and no more.

    My steps for looking up something are usually

    1. Check the arch wiki
    2. Check the gentoo wiki
    3. Search for something related to my own distro
    4. Search for anything else
    5. Cry

    1. Learn even better programming, have a handful of jr devs write the feature so you can knock off for a beer.

    1. Make a lot of money working for the highest bidder and spiral into alcoholism.
