Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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.

MODERATORS
Linux users when faced with the reality that all their shit is incompatible with reality.
"Fuck, my life sucks, what can I do to cheer myself up?"
"I know, I'll go into a forum full of Linux users and tell them their OS sucks. I feel productive now. Next I'll find some Pokemon and Startrek fans and troll them too."
Is that about it? Did I get it right?
Lord knows Linux users never wander into windows threads and be smug.
Reality runs on Linux.
Would you like to opt in to personalized advertising, including webcam access, location data, banking information, and your personal photos?
Don't forget religion and sexual orientation (I'm looking at you Nisan)
-I'm referencing Luis rossmans video on cars btw
I mean it's what serves the back end of all these services in the first place.
If Linux suddenly ceased to exist the internet and most devices we use and even rely on including android phones would become totally useless.
I don't think you can say that something so key to our technological infrastructure is incompatible with reality.
There is simply those of us who for whatever reason (commonly privacy and a level of control no other operating system outside maybe the BSDs offers) choose to use it for our personal desktop computing needs as well.

shit doesn't work on linux Because the developers couldn't bother to make a linux version. Because "not enough people use it". And people don't use linux mainly because shit doesn't work on it.
