- 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.

3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

I remember back in the 2000s when I tried to isolate a problem this never worked out. Too vague, too little understanding of what's what. If it wasn't for the help of one more experienced user in our campus, I would've given up pretty soon.
I hope things are better now, as I haven't been using Linux for quite some time and consider going back but this time there will be no one to ask
Now you have the internet and arch wiki.
The internet was already present then. The Arch wiki though…
Well, I'll just hope things are better now and give it a go
And you can always send me a question if you run up against something. I'm not an expert by any means but I've made it my daily driver for a couple years now.
