- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- 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.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. ย
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.

Another reason why Linux fanboys are so silly.
It's just whether you grew up / are more comfortable using Windows or Mac.
I grew up on Mac OS. My first laptop was the classic translucent blue clamshell iBook running OS X Cheetah. So when I first tried Linux, I used Gnome.
I switched to Windows when I got into gaming. But then when I got a Steam Deck, I decided to finally make the change. So now I'm much more comfortable using KDE.
QED.
Idk how true that is, I grew up using exclusively macOS for 15 years, then I got my own pc with windows on it and used it for a few years before switching to Linux, KDE is easily my favorite
I grew up with Amiga and Windows and yet I prefer gnome.
For many of us, it was the Gnome Wars and the Devs staged their coup and took over. Because who needs to listen to your customers? You're a Dev and you know best right?
Gnome 2 was Da Bomba. Clean and fast with just enough user control to make you happy. I still miss Gnome2 some days. Then the War happened and we got Gnome3. And things spiralled into the hell that Gnome has become. I switched to KDE and I dabble in many other DEs for funsies. But never Gnome anymore.
These days, I think Cinnamon DE is about as close as you can get to Gnome2. But, even that is slowly evolving away as it must.
No, it's clearly about the amount of fan art the mascots of each ecosystem have. That is also why Overwatch is clearly the greatest game of all time.
