- 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

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

This meme does deathbulge guy so dirty
Yeah, I keep seeing this and it's never been my experience in 20+ years of desktop Linux.
Yeah, every now and then there is the asshole and troll. Go to a supermarket and you'll find them too, go to your job and you'll find those too. I don't call all supermarkets asshole conglomerates, it's simply the world, there are asshats in the world.
I've talked directly to main developers of many systems like LVM, PHP, and so on who spent time to help me fix my issues. Who ever got to talk directly to an Apple dev or Microsoft dev?
It's not just Linux, it's like that with all open source. Yes, there are negative players everywhere, but mostly it has been a very welcoming and helpful group
I'll second this. Maybe they're coming from Reddit? I've seen some pretty awful screenshots from there. And I'll also second the helpfulness of the FOSS devs - I've reached out to the OpenSSH maillist to try to better understand the functionality of cert auth and they were super helpful.
Agian, I'm sure there are asshats out there, maybe even just people having a bad day, but generally people in the Foss community are helpful and super nice. Just my experience
Oh absolutely. Some people are just unpleasant (and as you say, sometimes it's down to a bad day). And sometimes, it's just personality clash/philosophy on OSS (ex. the former "benevolent dictator" of vim, RIP).
What does he mean by X, x11 or xorg ?
Isn't that that thing that always broke and made me feel like Linux wasn't very good for personal computers. I remember playing a game that took me hours to get running just for my computer to lock the screen and soft lock the whole computer. The lock screen captured the input after the game already captured the inputs and neither one of them worked.
Also as a kid running a script to fix screen tearing from online that happens to break the whole desktop or the weird things happening when you plugged in a second monitor.
Don't ask me how xorg works I've tried. I say good riddance, the king is dead long live the king.
Heh, i like that take more, I interpreted it as X as in a placeholder for any subject
How should he know? He's a new user after all.
