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!

    linux is easy... to break things. But look at all the amazing things you'll learn recovering from that!

    The pain will pass and the endorphines will be amazing. I should know, I've been in similar shit way too many times.

    Using Windows is terrible right now, but we've spent so much time using it that we developped workarounds and knowledge of the OS.

    When you switch to Linux, it's a different OS altogether, and that's not counting the different flavors.

    So yeah, all that to say that the pain and friction pass quite rapidly and you are left with an uncluttered OS (until you fill it up with useless crap).

    Corpos have worked so hard at making the UX "seamless" that people aren't used to fiddling with the computer anymore.

    😁 this is no pain, at least for me. It’s fun to dig for the issues
