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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    To be honest, it is quite complicated now as well with all of the proprietary software (sh.itjust.works)

    Via Reddit How?

    Sorry, that was my lame joke about the simlar sound of the windows essential tool "regedit".

    My only surviving knowledge from when I used to be able to do things on windows was that it was always a bucket of shite until you "regedit" a bunch of things. These edits were arcane secrets known only to mystical internet guru's like some bloke called "Fred Vorck" and impossible to figure out by logic, reason or even through mundane hard work. I assumed that's what the lower panel in the OP is getting at.

    But on reflection, I'd be sad if there's not a forum on reddit called "regedit" will all the advice on what registry keys to fix - so unintentionally it might not be the worst advice - apart from the word "simple".

    I'd forgotten about "dog destroyer for windows XP"
    That's how bad it used to be.
