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!

    From personal experience working in a Microsoft ecosystem, it's mostly a matter of being able to hire the right people.

    There is a near-infinite source of IT workers that have some expertise with Microsoft software and services. And those kinds of numbers simply don't exist for the Linux world, especially with all the different configurations out there.

    Medium-sized organizations have to employ a strategy of throwing enough idiots at a problem in order to keep things running. This also creates some of the issues they need the idiots for because no one has detailed knowledge of how things work.

    My attempts at proposing a linux-based application server have been met with all sorts of "but our domain policy", "we can't guarantee continuity", "none of my people know how to admin this stuff" type responses.

    It definitely is a matter of mindset, but there is also a big commitment to make if switching systems to Linux. And that is a choice managers will only make if the benefits are clearly illustrated in a businesscase.

    Lol ๐Ÿคฃ, that's one way to say it ๐Ÿ˜‚.

    And I meant more as in computers for personal use. I completely get why most things are MS centered in the workplace, and that's fine. If the workflow requires it, there is nothing wrong with that.
