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!

    [Image description: A fox-woman wearing a dress the color of the Debian logo is being pulled by the sleeves on one side by a gnu man and on the other side bu a penguin. She has an annoyed expression.
    The gnu man says: "Debian, why do you offer a non-free firmware repo?
    You're so close to being one of the few fully free distros...
    Don't you believe in free software?"

    The penguin says: "Why isn't the necessary firmware
    installed by default ?
    It's such a pain when you install
    and it can't connect to network...
    You're so close to being practical,
    Debian !" ]

    I'm glad some folks actually "get it".

    Computers are tools to get stuff done. It's ok to be a big FOSS advocate, but when you put your need to be a absolutist over practicality, you really lost the real world use of things.
