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!

    So many things I'd rather do than go back to Windows (sh.itjust.works)

    I mean between each good version, and now between each sub-decent version there is a shit version. Or 95 and 98 were both ok iirc and I don't know about before that but 2000, vista, 8, and now 11. You have to wait for 12 when they make it marginally better but still worse than the previous decent one. But each decent one will be progressively worse still but the anger version exists between to increase acceptance of the next one.

    I think 12 and the forced ad experience will finally break that trend. 11 was enough to get me to only buy Mac and Linux machines from here on out.

    I don't know what happened with the w10 updates, but I had 4 machines die simultaneously with hard drive failures. That's it...the non gaming rigs got Linux.

    The updates have been especially cursed lately. The copilot showing up with auto update seemingly disabled including registry tweaks and the start bar search field coming back every update, onedrive and edge rising from the grave repeatedly. If I could physically beat the shit out of an operating system to make it behave I totally would, something I would never resort to for animals and most humans. Windows would deserve it.

    I'm already fully on Linux for gaming. I have a GPU passthrough vm but most of the games that require it end up being totally not my thing. It's possible thay what I've called the layered deception method that also uses some Ms virtualization settings in addition to the kvm/qemu doesn't work for fooling the anti cheats anymore though. I haven't played any anti cheat titles in some time.
