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!

    It's going to be one of those things where someone is either going to switch to Linux or they're not. Most people will take convenience over privacy.

    Honestly, Windows isn't even that much more convenient. It's just what people are used to.

    Now that I'm used to Linux Windows makes me pull my hair out.

    Even just creating a functioning bootable usb stick with windows is a pain. Why are those stupid windows iso so damn picky?

    Exactly

    Funny. For me switching to Linux was actually a convenience and aesthetics over privacy ngl.
