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!

    What do you mean "limited account"? Do you mean no sudo access? Because I literally wouldn't be able to install anything except for flatpaks. Are you implying that the breakages are my fault? Cause if so, what did I do to cause them? I don't personally think I've done anything crazy.

    Also yes, windows breaks things sometimes as well. But my Linux install has broken over 5 times in the year and a half I've been using it. My windows install has broken... not once in the past 5 years. I have definitely had problems, but none so bad that I had to restore a backup or fix it with a live usb like I've had to with Linux.

    I still like the freedom it gives me, that's why I still use it. But I feel like recommending it to people who don't know what they're doing is a horrible idea.
