- 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.

- 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.

when i want to aid development with writing down my hardware, i should be able to send them, not they should collect it from me.
Most distros let you either opt-in or opt-out of it though. It's really not as big of a deal as people make it out to be. Besides, the "general" population switching to Linux doesn't really care about anonymized telemetry.
Discouraging people to not use a certain distro due to its optional and anonymized telemetry, is foolish.
idk but i'd switch to linux for absolutely zero telemetry, or as little as physically possible, while still maintaining a good gaming experience. That's the reason i'm planning to buy an amd build, not nvidia, i don't want propertiary drivers even
