Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

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.

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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

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 remove France.

Not knowing how anything works

I mean, that's how you start learning stuff - not knowing how something works

Being scared by errors that you don't know how to get around or deal with

Isn't that the case for every OS in existence? When something breaks, you don't know how to deal with it. Enter google/ddg/whatever

Not knowing alternatives for your former favourite apps to do things quickly

See point 1 - and yet there are Linux apps that let you do things quicker than Windows stuff. I can't imagine myself at this point having to use frigging photoshop to crop or add a border to a image when you could do that with a ´magick -crop´

Wondering if you get the peripherals you currently own to run?

Wasn't that the whole point of live images? Not that they will charge you for downloading them. And hardware support is infinitely better today than back in the day. Just look at what the folks at asahi did - that's nothing short of incredible

My brother in penguin computers, that wasn't a negative post. I just mentioned all the things to point out that switching OS can be really hard and the first time getting to Linux ain't all sunshine and rainbows. 😉

Really just needs one problem with some necessity you can't fix to screw up the whole experience. Doesn't even have to be Linux' fault; just thinking about god damn printers…
