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!

    "Hey boss, the display in the corner office automatically updated. Can we get IT to switch everything to Linux?"

    "why would we do that? Our systems don't work on that, our people aren't trained on that, no, get back to work"

    I think that would be a pretty accurate reply to a casual request for an entire infrastructure change

    "there is a bomb strapped to my chest, if you don't install Linux on every computer in here I will explode taking you with me"

    I wouldn't recommend this method but It might work out

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

    Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    our systems

    Guaranteed all of your backend systems are running Linux. If not, holy hell why.

    our people aren't trained on that

    Oh no, pointy-clicky on things on a desktop is so hard to train for people who have used an OS where you... um... pointy-clicky on things on a desktop. Whatever shall we do.

    Excuses. All I hear from people who want to keep obsolete, trash, laughable, insecure Windows.

    Complain all you want, not a single manager out there is going to shut down any part of the active systems in place and potentially lose business to upgrade to Linux. At that point, just bring your own laptop instead of moaning about it.

    And I used to think the "just switch to linux" guys were a meme, bro you're making me want to switch back to windows out of spite

    Enjoy your BSOD and Microsoft stealing all your data, then.
