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!

    I haven't seen Linux users fights over distros... Ever. We just have lots of choices, and most of them are awesome.

    I see a lot of claims of gatekeeping, just never the actual gatekeeping lol

    It's not uncommon to see people expressing disdain for other distros. I feel like it's tongue in cheek 99% of the time though

    Oh, just ask an Arch user about Manjaro.

    [–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

    Haha yeah. Well I'm an arch user for at least a decade, and i saw manjaro come.. It was very popular in the beginning. Then they started making strange decisions, but I think many people are still happy with it. Otherwise I think endevourOS is doing good. :)

    Nah it's pretty common. Especially if someone brings up Gaming Distros^TM^. You sometimes get passionate individuals that argue over them.
