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 may of pissed a lot of people off. Yet people wonder why I have such a strong dislike of Ubuntu.

    [–] ulkesh@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

    Yep, Unity DE had ads. Then people revolted and Canonical eventually got rid of them and also switched to base Gnome with some extensions.

    It definitely happened, I saw it in real time on my install of Ubuntu. But they learned their lesson on this one, I feel.

    Not sure why there are some who think this is still a thing, though.

    Side note: I’ve not run Ubuntu as my desktop OS I’m quite some time, opting instead for Garuda as of late and have seen no ads thus far :)

    It's been this way for at least a decade.
