Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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
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.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
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. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

For whatever reason, Reddit's algorithm decided I should start seeing that community, and I've always struggled to figure out if it's just Linux users shitposting, or if there are people out there who really just have huge boners for Microsoft
I'm inclined to think former. Excepting X box players, I've never actually met anyone in real life who actually likes Microsoft. Only people who are forced to use it, and don't feel like migrating to greener pastures.
I also thought it was Linux shitposting, but I've had a few comments deleted there. I think they seriously hate Linux for some reason.
It started out as ironic shit posting which attracted and built an unironic hate/conspiracy community
It's happened over and over and over again lol
As a heavy Linux user, the more I use it, the more shit I talk on it.
Reddit?
Yeah, Reddit's got /r/linuxsucks
That's hilarious. Is that one also run by 2 mods that are the only ones that post?
