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!

    They also all need to be using librebooted computers (Thinkpad and Optiplex)

    s/librebooted/canoebooted/

    it's honestly quite strange. The Libreboot term has been known for years to refer to the fully free bios project. Then they merged osboot and Libreboot so now libreboot contains proprietary blobs. Then they decided to make a new project canoeboot, which is basically the new libreboot.

    so they went from having:

    • osboot
    • libreboot

    to having:

    • canoeboot
    • libreboot

    All they seemed to have done is confuse.

    Canoeboot was made as a joke to make fun of OSS enthusiasts.

    The problem is installing Linux on them is a nightmare and bring a risk of bricking them.

    also a lot of them have soldered storage of like 16 gigs, which just isn't enough for most ppl
