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.

- 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
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Its all one person. Literally 98% of the posts are one butthurt dude, who then goes on to complain that linux users are annoying because they make it their whole personality.
ironic really. they became the thing the hated most.
a platform bandoliering with an incessant need to promote their values as better than everyone else's.
the only saving grace for Linux fanbois is that they're usually right.
The thing that he doesn't understand is that he cannot ascertain my "entire personality" by simply seeing the facets of it I show in linux forums.
Furthermore, I would argue that creating and singularly sustaining a salty "fuck linux" community puts OP pretty far up the list of "linux is entire personality," even if "anti-" it's still likely more than most of us tbh. Like I say, all I know of them is from that comm so I'm sure there's other facets to their personality I'm not privy to, I'm just saying, who is really more obsessed, the guy posting in forums and sometimes recommending it as an alternative when people complain about windows, or the guy who runs a whole ass hate community dedicated to it? Ironic, really.
It just gets sad when you remember the dude running it isn't doing this for satire. They generally think it sucks.
I thought it was satire at first and thought, how long before they start going after stereotypes? Then I saw it was just that one person and thought damn someone misconfigured their backups and lost their job.
Wait... Is that community run by Gerald Holmes?

I think PC gamers in general are annoying regardless of what OS they use. I say this as a Linux PC gamer.
I agree...I Linux game in Arch btw.
Noob distro, all the true Linux gamers use LFS.
Oh, the irony.
