- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- 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.
3. Post Linux-related content

Lol, meme's backwards
CLI evangelists try to shit on GUI constantly, as though it makes them better at computers. It doesn't, kids
Can see it in this very thread
Lol no. Many posts in this community recently making fun of gimp. Do you see anyone in the comments going WELL ACTUALLY IF YOU JUST USE IMAGEMAGICK? No. Plenty of things to complain about in the big DE's like KDE and Gnome. But do you see people saying "just use tty"? Also no. Meanwhile you mention terminal once and you get at least two randos going on about how ThIs Is WhY LiNuX IsNt ReAdY. The meme is not backwards, your perception of reality is.
You really don't see why people would suggest using other GUI alternatives for image manipulation? image manipulation?
"People don't recommend entirely dropping GUI over one or two GUI issues!" Shocker, wow. They do condescendingly say 'just go into terminal and do x,y,z" though, like I said
It isn't condescending. It's the easiest and simplest way to do a thing. Additionally, there's a wide variety in GUI options on Linux, so if I'm helping somebody out, I'm going to give the terminal commands. Not because I'm a terminal elitist or some nonsense, but because I know it will work regardless of whatever their GUI setup is. I might know where to go in KDE, but I don't know where it would be in GNOME or any other desktop environment I'm unfamiliar with. The terminal command is going to be the same for everybody, though.
