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!

    Man I really wonder what the venn diagram of Linux users/furries are. But I'm thinking it might be a circle within a circle kinda thing.

    It's just the same classic bleed over of socially awkward nerds being into multiple things, like Star Trek, Star Wars, tech, programming, RPG gaming, anime, comic books, and of course, the furry fandom.

    You'll find lots of Linux users among those subgroups too.

    I'm a Linux user since 2010. I've been pure Linux since 2020. I do not fall under any of those groups tho :/

    I have a furry for a friend who's a die-hard windows and Microsoft guy

    So it's more IT, less Linux

    So much does.

    It is not two concentric circles, but the overlap is gigantic.

    Both circles are entirely contained within a larger circle that says "neurodiverse people", though.
