- 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
- 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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

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 remove France.

MODERATORS
Fighting with Linux is generally rewarding. On the rare occasion when it happens, I almost always learn a lot, and I'm able to figure out a functional solution.
Windows on the other hand feels like fighting with a manipulative, toxic partner. It happens constantly, you're always a little on edge, and you never come out learning anything, you're just relived that it's over.
Honestly it's all about usage. Fought a lot with PopOS and Mint recently, learned nothing. Partner handed me a laptop with Windows 11 asking about a "grinding sound" and I cleaned out the fan checked everything in the OS and it was all fine. 11 ran like butter on that cheap laptop. I get that people bitch about Windows, but for the most part it is bullshit bitching. 11 ran laps around Mint and Pop during my use of it. PopOS is still loading its PopStore or what not and Mints Cinnamon is running updates for days while 11 finished it's tasks yesterday. I love Linux and all, but this thing that Windows in inoperable is just dumb. They put ads and shit, it sucks. But the os runs really fucking well for so many people, that they don't find a reason to switch.
