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've had the exact opposite experience. Have never had an app freeze my Mac but my windows computer freezes up at least once a week. Using both for work so similar loads but I guess it's possible some of my work software is dodgy on the windows. Still probably shouldn't lock up like that so frequently.

    I must be lucky with windows then.

    It's kind of ridiculous that either one can lock up due to a bad application though. Feels like lately it's been almost as bad as the XP and beach ball of death days.

    I guess it's just really hard to make an operating system. My work Mac also isn't completely devoid of its own issues. Sometimes moving the mouse can be a bit laggy which is frustrating because I also have a personal Mac that's not laggy, so again probably the work software.

    Absolutely agree it's ridiculous that modern hardware still sometimes chugs when it's thousands of times more powerful than what we had back in the day.
