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.
    • 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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.

    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.

    If I had a dollar for every time the Nvidia driver screwed me over I still couldn't order anything with it because my graphics driver wouldn't load.

    The drivers have gotten a lot better over the last few years, and Nvidia even have an official open-source driver now, but there's still issues with them. Wayland works very well now, but not perfectly (especially on GPUs with low VRAM).

    If you're on Linux and are buying a new GPU, stick to AMD. Their driver is part of the Linux kernel, it's more stable, and it gets all the newest features first.

    As a game developer I would suggest the opposite. Never had a report that came down to an Nvidia graphics card, however AMD will randomly introduce game breaking bugs in their Linux driver and leave it unfixed for years.

    That's because ther nvidia driver broke the report button. /s
