Sister communities:


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 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!

    Why would it though? If performing an action through the terminal shaves off only 2-3 seconds who cares?

    If I want to open firefox though the terminal I can do that, sure…or I can just point and click on my taskbar/desktop. The time difference is virtually unnoticeable.

    There’s a reason GUIs blew up. It’s not just because of user accessibility. There are legitimate things that are faster or less of a hassle with GUIs and I feel like the Linux community forgets that sometimes. Like using the terminal somehow makes them superior.
