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
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.

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
I've always loved Linux, even when it was kicking my ass. I can't imagine approaching it with the attitude "Ugh, I have to force myself to use this thing, and I know that it's going to frustrate me".
That sort of thing is a self-fulfilling prophecy, because everybody has cognitive biases. Since you expect it to be frustrating, you're going to remember all the times that it is and forget the times when it isn't.
It's a chicken and egg situation.
It's frustrating because I don't know it, and I don't learn it because it's frustrating.
