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!

    I'm inclined to agree with ya there since I have no strong feelings towards Windows 7 in particular and I've never tried earlier versions. Yeah, I can live with Windows 10 if i had no other choice or say in the matter, and it wasn't my old install (see the other parenthesis if you care to know)

    The ads are on the Start menu search. They're not that bad as far as I remember, but i can see for others why'd they'd be annoying--in particular, those who paid for the software liscene already. it's the small little annoyances when it came to Microsoft's decisions (and the fact i wanna believe my Windows was just messed up from the word go...seriously, that thing was laggy as it was slow and just...strange is the best word I can describe using it, compared to other machines running Windows 10. So yeah, I already had one foot out the door as it was) and the fact I realized I had a choice that was NOT apple that moved me to Linux and it's been pretty good, considering 95% of my needs are met on Linux
