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 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.
  • 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, <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
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • Β

    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.

    This year totally is the year of Linux, guys!

    Trust me!

    The only way Linux ever becomes viable for the mainstream is when there is a single distribution that covers every feature and is as streamlined and user friendly as possible.

    • No command lines ever for anything
    • huge software compatibility
    • hardware compatibility of the newest and oldest of hardware
    • easy troubleshooting even your nan can follow
    • and most of all: every Linux user agrees it is the best Linux distribution (unless you are into niche stuff)

    So until even you guys can agree on one distribution being the best, it will not be the year of the Linux ever.--

    Disclaimer: when I say "bullshit", I do not mean "you are brainless fool", I only mean "this idea is so ridiculously wrong it is time we put it to rest at last"

    No command lines ever for anything

    This annoys me so much I literally registered to answer: bullshit. Stop with that strawman, will ya all, Linux enthusiasts

    easy troubleshooting even your nan can follow

    Same level bullshit. Watch win (and mac?) being hell to debug

    every Linux user agrees it is the best Linux distribution

    Bullshit. See Win XP times with many custom-made "flavours". That did nothing to make windows less popular

    when there is a single distribution

    Bullshit number one. Linux will become major thing as a result of people pushing back against corporate wall-gardening and spying and/or when it starts coming pre-installed (see Android phones for the latter). All the scary-command-line whining is just elitist bullshit

    Hell people still argue about the best version of Windows lol (I miss XP and 7) people will never agree on a single Linux distro

    It's like saying "Nobody will ever buy a vacuum until we can decide if Dyson or Bissel are better" lmao.
