- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

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

in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

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.

„There are ways to make it simpler” completely misses the point of something being simple.
Welcome to this community in a nutshell. Any amount of friction is enough to lose significant portions of your audience
Well, if you have a techy person take an hour to set it up for you, it can be simple for the end user, without them having to do anything technical themselves.
That's... not the point of the meme though:-).
If you want simple, and have an entire IT staff backing you, get Windows.
If you want simple and want elegant, get Mac OSX.
Linux is not that simple (unless everything just happens to work), but it is nice for people to have choices:-).
Pro-Tip: don't do what others tell you - find what works best for you and enjoy it:-).
And you just doubled down on missing the point.
If you put in lots of effort and hard work, you can make it easy to avoid having to put in lots of effort and hard work.
