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!

    All of my computer problems went away after switching to Linux, so I'd say it's solid advice.

    Granted, I do have computer problems, they're just different ๐Ÿง

    The difference is that with Linux, it's possible to become smart enough to fix all the issues. Windows is designed in such a way that there usually isn't a way to fix its problems to avoid format and reinstalls no matter how much you know.

    Lol, Linux users are funny.

    I've found that my problems went from "minor annoyances that occur regular with no way to fix other than waiting for it to fix itself" and "major annoyance with workaround, has been like this since Windows 7" to "this bug almost completely breaks your system but the first search result has the three steps to permanently fix it"

    Granted I'm on Arch and Plasma 6 Beta so that's to be expected
