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!

    Was 10 actually alright early on in its life, or was I just unaware? I don't remember any of the advertising and spyware crap back when I first upgraded from 7.

    Yes. It installed candycrap automatically and had several other such apps in the start menu.

    [–] smeg@feddit.uk 8 points 1 month ago

    Oh yeah I do remember that one

    AFAIK it has always been nagging about how much better things will be if you just connect your login to their Microsoft account.

    [–] smeg@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago

    I foolishly did that right away so I must have never seen the extra nagging

    And let's not forget Cortana.

    TBH I think 10 was worse before but I use LTSC so my perspective is different.
