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.

- 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.

Remember when Windows 10 was meant to be the last edition of Windows ...
It never was. That quote was an offhand comment by a developer evangelist that everyone ran with as the official word from Microsoft
It still is, they just changed the number on a random patch when they cut the actually useful option to put the taskbar on the side of the screen.
I'm glad to see somebody else as salty as I am over them removing that feature for Windows 11, as that immediately killed any enthusiasm I had towards it.
I rock an ultrawide monitor. You know how many needless pixels a bottom task bar takes up on that thing? If I wanted to stick duck tape on a third of my screen I would do that.
So I went and paid for StartAllBack immediately. Because screw that.
Exactly. Even on regular width monitor, you still have so much more horizontal space to spare than vertical, so putting it on the side just makes sense!
How Microsoft don't see that, at least anymore, is astounding to me
It still is. Windows 10 and 11 are built on the same version of Windows NT with different patches.
Windows 11 current release - NT version 10.0.22621.2428
Windows 10 current release - NT version 10.0.19045.3570
Both are Windows NT 10.0.
