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!

    Aw heck, I'll take the downvotes...

    Can't be responsible for a global IT shutdown when you're only a couple percent of the user base!

    You forget servers, network appliances, and other infrastructure? That's where the bulk of Linux lives, not on Desktops.

    Nuh-uh, I saw a Steam survey that said that less than two percent of computers use Linux!

    What do you mean by "the headless internet backbone servers, Android phones, and smart appliances don't have Steam"?

    The latest steam survey says 2.08% use Linux.

    That's more than 2%, I bet you feel pretty ridiculous now!

    The absolute ridicule! I'm sorry, but I might not survive this! How could this come to be?!

    Didn't know 70% was a "couple percent"
