  • 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.

    Yeah last time I had a windows virus was because I got a bad Photoshop crack. But the virus was just a coin miner. Before that, I hadn't had a virus in 13 years.

    With how much Adobe infects a system, leaving multiple different traces behind even when uninstalled, I think it's fair to say that Photoshop itself is almost a virus

    Genuinely, how can you get rid of all that? How do you even find everything?

    Creative cloud is malware in my opinion

    The Win10 iso that I definitely ~~legitimately purchased~~ has a ppApps folder that has Photoshop in it; I've always just assumed I would be able to delete it from there.

    If you don't have it portable-ized, though, Revo Uninstaller might help. (though I never used it for long enough for the trial to run out, so I don't know how much it costs)

    Revo Uninstaller has a free version.

    Never paid for it, yet have been using it for decades.
