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!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me (sh.itjust.works)

    and add repositories and then apt get update all and then reboot and then try to install my program and then turns out I added the repositories for the wrong version of Ubuntu and now I gotta add the right one

    and also I can’t double click someting cause it will open it up as a text file instead of an executable.

    I work with multple programming languages daily, I’m not computer illiterate

    As a computer programmer, I'm assuming you're aware of the right click option to mark a file as an executable?

    Also, Ubuntu has a GUI for repositories management.

    Every answer I get on this subject is either whataboutisms or gatekeeping.

    If you were a computer novice then I could maybe understand your criticisms more.

    Sweet, then you agree that computer novices have real grievances regarding Linux's usability?

    A novice would have a learning curve for anything new that they just started to use.
