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 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.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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.
    • Β 

    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.

    Using hyprland in no way benefits the developer to be clear, I would just not donate, beyond that it really doesn't matter

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 42 minutes ago

    yeah if its a good program you can use it, even if it's made by horrible people

    one example is templeos. everyone likes it, even if the guy who made it was an asshole

    though hyprland is different since you can donate, but like you said, you can just not donate to them!

    also nice name and pfp

    I disagree. Open source thrives on attention. Install count is like their cocaine.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

    Install count isn't necessarily reported, and all forms of reporting that I know of on linux are opt-in

    Shit take.

    Disregarding projects or ideas due to unrelated issues is just stupid.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

    Then don't do it.

    Popularity give them followers, followers give them money

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

    Popularity has nothing to do with install count, and nearly every distro does opt-in to show what you're running.
