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!

    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.

    I don't get it...

    Modern USB keyboards need to be asked what's being pressed by the CPU multiple times a second, but old PS/2 keyboards will actually interrupt the CPU to send the key press command

    Oh, didn't actually know what's being done behind the scene...

    Why is this relevant to Linux only?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    It's not

    Hm... then why is it posted in a Linux comm?

    It's kind of a tradition among the r*ddit refugees from s*bs like linuxmemes and linuxmasterrace. Posting things that aren't strictly linux-related, but would still be appreciated in general by computer nerds.

    Ah, didn't know that 👍.

    Because it's funny, there's nothing that you don't already know.
