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!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I'm not too familiar with the ITS, but hearing the monumental work done during the 1960s and 70s surrounding operating systems is something I can't fathom.

    He really stands for so much in the philosophy surrounding FOSS... Ironically, if it weren't for the Ted Talk on YouTube that I watched from him a year ago, I wouldn't have known about his existence.

    Hope he recovers, it's different to see him without his signature long hair and beard :(

    He doesn't do himself any favors. He truly ruined his legacy with his options. His software vision was always an uphill battle and he fell short of being a good leader. His strong stances have their place but it's easy to dismiss them because he's a crackpot.
