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!

    I only switched this week, and I kinda disagree with the meme.

    It's both.

    I'm only dual booting because I'm a gamer and some games only run on Windows.

    I had that attitude for a while too. Eventually you realise that having to reboot your system for a handful of games isn't worth it. Nowadays I just don't buy games that don't run on Linux.

    Eventually we will reach a critical mass where game developers will actively develop for Linux, rather than being reliant on compatibility layers.

    Yeah, about half of my library already runs on Linux.

    The problem I have now is that, soon, I'm gonna want to do a reinstall so Linux can have more disk space. :) My PC's pretty fast, so the reboot doesn't really bug me all that much.

    some app only runs on wondows

    Yep, I know. I have to log into Windows to manage the files on my Huawei tablet.

    That's okay. I can do 99% of what I want on Linux without Microsoft snooping on me.

    Shouldn't your huawei tablet support mtp just fine though?

    I wonder if you could ssh into it. My charging port broke on my last phone and was able to pull all my files off of it via ssh
