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!

    Though I love Linux with all my heart, i don't even recommend it to family. Mostly out of fear of having to provide tech support .

    Are you not already tech support for your family?

    [–] Xeelee@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    No. I only know Linux. At least that's what I tell them.

    [–] LSlowmotion@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

    Gotta do that from now. Thanks for the advice.

    I do because I already am tech support and Linux is easier than windows. Now my close family uses Linux and very rarely needs any help

    Same here. I’m going to be tech support anyway, so they might as well be using an operating system that doesn’t break every 5 minutes like Windows. Aside from the occasional printer weirdness, I really haven’t had to do much. Linux just works.
