1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • 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
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    I am I the only one that thinks 2024 was a great year for Linux Desktop?

    Not in any real advancements in Linux, but because Windows in now shit enough 3 of my non-techy friends switched to Ubuntu just to avoid Windows.

    Disclaimer: All 3 were gamers that saw me playing the games they cared about on Steam Deck. So it was actually Steam Deck that did the heavy lifting in this example.

    I mean, it's not mainstream Linux usage, but it's a damn good step forward, right? Even if it is just people giving it reasonable consideration πŸ˜„

    Edit: Typo

    I would say the Steam Deck has been the major impetus for Linux adoption for a couple of years now. I know it sealed the deal for me, when I went into desktop mode and learned that KDE is basically Windows but better lol.

    But Linux, particularly Linux gaming, owes so much to Valve/Proton for the direction we're going.

    2024 was a great start with the release of Plasma 6, and the Pros of Wayland now generally outweighing the Cons.
