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!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    It'll be the topic of major news outlets the world around. The BBC will have a live interview with the developers of Mint and Bazzite, governments will decide to invest in opensource to replace Windows, Mac and any other closed source viruses, there will be a Linux User Foundation that collects money purely for linux (unlike the Linux Foundation) where people can apply for jobs to work on the kernel with entry-level positions like intern and junior, the Opensource User Foundation will be founded to propagate opensource wherever and whenever possible, ... it'll be glorious!
    We will truly enter a better world, all thanks for 5% penguin.

    It will be the inflection point where we hit exponential growth. A few days later we'll be at 1024% adoption as people start running VMS inside VMS of different distros

    It has been in exponential growth since the signal was distinguishable from the noise, and exponentials do not have inflection points...

    The only inflection we can expect is when it reaches 1/4 of saturation.

    You'll forgive me if I ever-so-briefly misread your boilerplate link as "And then I woke up."

    It'll be the year of the Linux desktop!

    If you take unknown to mean Linux(which I do Linux Users have got to be the most secretive bunch on earth and all the others are self reporting) then Linux is at %9 If you include ChromeOs (which I half do) Linux is at %11.25 If you include MacOS(which I 1/4 Do) Linux is at %26.7 If you include windows(It technically has WSL So I 1/8 Do) Linux is At %100

    Is this a joke yea. But technically you can write a Linux Program That will Run on every system without recompiling and you can’t say that about anything else so technically It has %100 available to everyone on earth(Except FreeBSD users Fuck them)
