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!

Why do you think that?
Probably more that they want to support any major OSes, and Linux just doesn't have the market share they deem profitable enough.
I think it's a web app, and it shouldn't matter what fucking OS I use.
School apps and testing software has tons of DRM. And for good reason. That's the problem.
There is never a good reason for DRM.
Of course there is. In this particular case it prevents cheating.
lol
dude as a student in school I don't think there is anything that supposed drm is gonna stop

How does it prevent cheating exactly? I can just fire up a windows VM and it won't know that I am looking stuff up even when proctoring I'd assume.
I've been fortunate to not have to deal with Pearson, so I am not talking from experience.
