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
sudoin 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.

isn't the windows search bar a giant always on ad for edge and Bing?
also windows advertises a lot of their cloud/subscription services in notifications and settings to me
I suppose - I always disable it as part of my initial setup steps, I have actually never used it.
I've only seen shilling for 360 in the account panel, though. Never in the notification tray.
You can turn that off
yeah, through registry keys
no normal user is going to do that
Registry is just the settings panel in windows now
But the normal user can download random programs off the internet to do it for them
bloat at best, virus at worst
regedit isn't hard enough to justify a registry editor app
We are talking about normal users
The ones whom in yesteryear would have half their browser be toolbars
