- 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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
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.

We 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.

Back to work today. Signed into my windows machine. Had to agree to 3 privacy policies to read my emails/use Edge.
Have the XKCD as a wallpaper to remind me of 'home'.
You could redo that XKCD but with windows today...
Clearly.
Meanwhile, Windows users are landing down, wondering what this strange new planet is. Confused by the Great Filetree, they begin to poke its roots...
(heh, roots)
"Ima install windows server edition since I like the C API and I can learn regedit stuff"
(The most undocumented nightmare imaginable)
"Never again"
Seriously how did I have harder time connecting to my home wifi than I did connecting to PEAP encrypted university wifi on open fucking bsd.
Microsoft hides how their server shit works behind their certifications
Source: I've been taught how to use Windows server edition by people who got their certs. I assume it's somewhat a joke, but cannot be certain

My work laptop just updated to Win11 and I'm not happy about it
Me when I returned to gaming on Linux after Proton and Lutris dropped (no more fiddling with Wine prefixes and such π )

this will be me when I'm finally released from the prison of my work software only being supported on Windows
You can dual boot or VM :p
I do use a VM π tried dual booting a while back but Windows 11 does some weird shit to make it harder that I haven't bothered to sort out yet
