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!

    for no good reason

    I think the reason is that almost everyone uses systemd

    Circles are superior geometric forms. Peak design!

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

    Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    I'm not sure if this counts as reasoning, more like they just feed each other, with all starting from the original lack of documentation

    That just sounds like a reason to not bother supporting Linux, when Windows is so much more popular

    [–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

    Yes that's what lots of companies/people do

    [–] zephr_c@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

    Yeah. That was my point. It's a self fulfilling cycle of people using it because it's all that's supported, and it being all that's supported because people use it. I think that is a problem. That's the same reason most software is for Windows. I don't think that's a good reason.
