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!

    Good advice for people that is actually interested on trying new things on their machine. If the user just likes to complain about Windows but when presented a real solution they say "it's too much work" or "nah, it's weird and looks difficult", then it's a lost case.

    Yes, but what if they're complaining about their grilled cheese?

    Then it means they are using a Mac Pro.

    Honestly sometimes people just need to vent their frustrations and aren't interested in immediately starting a new project to solve their problems. This applies to life in general not just Linux.
