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!

    I wish Microsoft would just sell a stripped down customizable windows.

    If they want to cut into the growing Linux market share, all they need to do is give a real option for Linux users. Imagine if Windows allowed Desktop Environments to be innsatlled over too.

    It reminds me of YouTube premium. Like, I'd happily pay for Premium and support the creators I watch, but that won't stop Google from scraping all of may data and selling it on top of my payment.

    These companies know they will always make more from ad sales and telemetry than making a good product and selling it.
