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!

    My lower res, lower DPI display from my old Dell laptop looks much more sharp and crisp than the fancy pants Framework 13 high res display.

    Yeah but most customers buying a MacBook don't give a shit about running 10 year old 1080p monitors. Linux users high s much higher chance of running old hardware.

    I mean, I do and I have to use a Macbook for work. There's not much difference between 4k and 1080p at under 24", on top of the fact that I should be testing my software on 1080p screens and not just exclusively high res screens.

    Apple's attitude towards technology as disposable and garbage the instant it ages is horrendous and has knock on effects for everyone.

    Your personal preference aside Linux DE (in general) pisses off more of it's users as a % over stuff like this than apple does. The general populations preferences don't line up to the Linux community ethos or practices. This is an example of that.

    I mean, Windows supports both

    Your failure to provide a reliable source for your claims is not my problem.

    If you cannot provide a reliable source of your claims, your claim will be dismissed.

    Only if you are a nerd spiting yourself with an inferior desktop because Linux.
