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'm just dipping my toes into the Linux world and searched up something like "Linux distros for beginners," and Mint with Cinnamon was on like five lists.

    It's like having sex for the first time. Don't know what I'm doing, but I'm having fun.

    I dont understand the analogy because I didn't get any. For me, it was like riding a bike or driving a car, I got a hang of it, but didn't know where to go and went wherever the internet/maps said was popular. Or when I first went to a buffet, didn't know what I wanted but started taking everything available in small portions and taking what others(friends and strangers) took.
