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.

    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.

    How are they better than Windows or Linux shortcuts?

    From my experience, you can just get to where you want to get faster with them. The globe key is also pretty nice if you switch languages a lot like I do. (Yes, I know you can do this with 2 key presses on windows but being able to do it in one is nice.)

    Is there a globe key on Mac? I must have missed that one. I can see that being useful if you type in languages which use different alphabets but not otherwise.

    Even if doing a shortcut is barely any slower.

    Yeah, it’s the bottom left key. You can assign it to do all sorts of stuff (I think it’s emoji by default for US models). I use it to switch between Japanese and English keyboard.

    Ah, alright I have an fn key there instead. Which I actually prefer because sacrificing prime real estate for a language key seems like a waste.
