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!

    By shitting on Windows you're saying anything that isn't Windows is superior. Now you're just being a hypocrite.

    A hypocrite, but right.

    How is it hypocritical to say that things that aren't Microsoft Windows are better than Microsoft Windows?

    Crow doesn't want us to classify which operating systems are superior, yet, believes that every operating system that isn't Windows is superior.

    which are

    That's the error. The word "are" isn't even a part of their comment. They don't want people finding the one, singular, that is above the rest. They proposed flipping the competition. Finding the worst. That leaves no top-most judgement for the rest, no hypocrisy with that.

    I interpreted their comment as "There are at least two tiers of things: things that are Microsoft Windows and those that aren't, and the tier that includes Microsoft Windows is not the most superior tier". I don't think that's hypocritical.
