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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    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 remove France.

    Crazy how different our experiences have been. Over the last decade I've hopped from Ubuntu to Mint, Debian, Fedora, Nobara, and currently on Bazzite. Never had an issue connecting to the internet. (shrugs)

    And for me when I use windows it has not had an issue with anything I've wanted to do. (Shrug)

    I've tried Arch and Mint, and both took constant tinkering just to use the internet and getting basic apps like Steam and Acrobat installed.

    I had to fucking download and install a set of libraries through the command line and follow a 20 step tutorial to make it so I can open a fucking .exe file.

    Shrugging and saying "it just works" instead of wanting the system to be accessable to non autists is what will forever keep Linux in the fringe.

    windows... has not had an issue with anything I've wanted to do.

    Then you should use Windows. It sounds like it works for you.

    I offered up a counter-anecdote to your anecdote. I did not mean to invalidate your experience.

    That said, I'm triggered by statements like, "Linux isn't ready," because they aren't conducive to productive conversation. A better way to think of it is, "Linux/Windows/ isn't for me." Linux doesn't have to be for everybody. Likewise for Windows or any other OS. I think it's great that we have so many choices.
