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.

They could use some memes making fun of our community instead of making fun of the rest.
Let's be honest, Linux isn't a viable option for a big portion of society. I love working in Linux but it's not perfect for those that aren't techsavy and need more than a browser.
Linux Mint is absolutely usable by most of the population. What it isn't good at is business sector stuff because that entire sector is captured by Microsoft and its proprietary ecosystem. If interoperability was the focus, it wouldn't be an issue. But capturing the population is the goal, so companies get these anti-user designs that lock you into their ecosystems. Maybe you need centralized development to achieve stuff like Azure and all its capabilities.
LibreOffice can take care of the business stuff. Or, Hell, just Google Docs.
