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!

    I use windows cause I play on vrchat a lot

    While I did switch to Linux because Windows 3.11 (or more specifically MS Word) sucked, I never found the need to go back, even back then. So there's that.

    I use Linux because it's great and better than windows

    I use Linux because it plays games better.

    We've come so far for there to be truth in that statement

    I use linux because both, we are not the same

    I use Linux because Docker doesn't run natively on Macs.

    I don't give a shit about our relation because I have a life.

    Suction stays winning

    It's available in homebrew though

    Docker on macos runs in a virtual machine, for some people that might not be desirable.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Then what's the point of it lmao

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Some devs like macos, stuff still needs to be deployed to linux servers, possibly using docker containers.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

    I do, though I like my Mac hardware while the software is just good enough to not annoy me too much...

    Do you not use homebrew on macos?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Yes I do but how does the install method change the fact that Docker containers cannot run without a virtualisation layer like they do on Linux?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    No idea, I just saw that there is a docker cask available, so I assume it works

    Don’t worry about it

    I use linux because I love penguins.

    We're not the same.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

    I use Linux because I care about privacy.

    You use Linux because you want to rice.

    We’re not the same.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

    Hey long as you get here on Linux it is all good lol.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

    wow, bravo.... BRAVO!

    [–] [email protected] 46 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    You use Linux because of your superiority complex and need to be seen as cool.

    I use Linux because I'm broke.

    We are not the same.

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

    I use Linux because I don't trust windows, I don't like the direction Microsoft is headed, and I'm bored.

    We're not the same either, but that's ok. We can still all have each other's backs.
