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!

    Are you honestly telling me there aren't people asking basic questions that could be solved with a google search? Don't get me wrong the kind of question you are talking about does exist, but that's now what I am discussing here.

    Oh, no totally, there's people asking questions that Google used to be able to answer. Google is now a burning tire fire, and getting a useable answer from it can now be a full time job...is what I'm saying.

    Then you use DuckDuckGo like I do. Not every search engine has gone to complete shit. Google was just an example. Obviously it's not the current meta in terms of search engines.

    Ok, tell me how many people who would be using Linux, that might have issues looking up things, that wouldn't default to Google. There's a significant portion of the population that thinks Google is the only search engine.

    Someone using Linux Mint would be a good guess as I don't think they default to Google.
