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.
  • ย 

    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.

    No issue for me regarding broken windows explorer. Directory opus user since my amiga days :-) Still forced to use Windows for work and well gaming. There are still some tools only developed for Windows, especially work related software coded for my employer were wine is not enough.

    Look around, there are loads and loads of Linux open source tools that do the same, just dont have a fancy name.

    Not to connect to a certain database at work that is closed source.

    Can't comment on the work / tools part, but while not perfect, gaming on Linux is excellent now. The only Windows system on my network is my wife's work computer and that's been the case for years.
