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!

    Okay but tbf the arch wiki is probably the only source of online documentation that is actually up to date lol.

    I abuse it for literally every stupid corner case on any distro

    I ~~love~~ hate it when it's a fairly simple issue and the op gets everything but the answer because people just want to talk shit.

    "Just Google it!"

    Proceeds to Google the issue, top result is the same thread.

    I was just getting into Linux desktop development. I asked one question regarding getting the position of a mouse on some Ubuntu developer forum. The response drove me away from developing for Linux and I never returned.

    You perhaps could not have known it at that time, but development questions are almost always out of place with a distribution forum. Qt or GTK documentation would probably have been a better stop.

    Is this the guy who makes alt right comics?

    Edit: yeah, it's George Alexopoulos. They're a good artist, but they're pretty nasty. I wouldn't post their stuff.

    I never knew why people need to conflate the personality or political opinions of the artist with the art they make.

    In my opinion, even if the artist is a terrible human being they can still produce some good art. And even if the art they produce is crap, it can still prove valuable, as it can be parodied, modified, transformed or mocked.

    Are you ignoring the fact that the artist in question specifically makes anti-left propoganda? Like it's literally their entire identity to try (and fail) to make fun of leftist politics

    I've seen a few great Linux memes with this, but I think the biggest insult would be for people to use it as a template for things he doesn't believe in.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    Mockery is the sincerest form of insult. I hope this meme lasts forever.

    Cause literally everything is in the wiki, written out very simply. Rewriting that in a chat and email would be counter productive.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    As a noob to Linux: THERE'S A WIKI? Awesome!

    As a mechanic: Everything I deal with comes with an instruction manual that has the steps written out simply.... for a mechanic.

    If I didn't ask the simple questions when I first started, despite having the manual available, never would have learned the basics from someone who knows.

    I'm not trying to sound combative or anything, just that sometimes a person needs a small stepping stone of an answer to progress.

    Unlike the wacky original this edit is too real.

    Basically the atheist dad yelling and screaming at his daughter for not being gay and not wanting to have abortions. Typical fundie Christians projecting their inner most thoughts and darkest desires onto their opponents thinking.
