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!

    Bill said Windows 10 was the last one, so...

    11? Fuck that, I'm not sidegrading to 8.

    I ain't even joking. My media PC is still on 7, everything else is on Linux now.

    Isn't it insecure to run such an old version tho? (Since it stopped recieving updates years ago)

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Well, security doesn't matter for a media device like that. The exposure is so minimal that it might as well not exist.

    Hell, considering I really only use it to pirate shit maybe once a month nowadays, my main desktop PC isn't even on enough to matter; I could keep any old OS on it.

    Why not run a minimal distribution like Alpine if you're just torrenting?

    If it is connected to your router it’s a point of ingress.

    The risk of getting a attack via the router is very low these days
