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 only regret is that I may not live long enough to have used Linux longer than I used Windows.

    I hear that, I've been using Windows since '98, and only had Linux on my primary computer for a few weeks. I didn't think I'll be going back even though HDR support is spotty.

    HDR support is spotty but holy fuck was it bad when I was using windows

    Playing my HDR game? Add a few seconds of loading time while my screen turns off and then on. In game it's fine, but alt-tab, or receive a notification while playing, and the screen has to turn off and on again to display the SDR content, which takes long enough for the notification to be gone anyway. I can't even tell you how good or bad the HDR is on my screen lmao

    7800x3D / 7900XTX / Samsung Neo G9 OLED, so really it's not an hardware issue

    I've been using Windows since 3.11. I've been supporting it for a career since 1998 (although almost entirely servers not desktops for the last 23 years). I'm tired of Microsoft's bullshit.

    On the other hand, my expertise at resolving their (server) bullshit over the last couple decades sure did pay well. So I guess it wasn't all bad. But these days they can kiss my ass.
