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!

Not everyone is a developer, but the vast majority of people use Windows. When an issue arises, it's easier for a non-programmer to search for help than look at code.
Sure, you also have that option on Linux, which would be the first thing you do anyway. But after you searched everywhere and found nothing, on Linux you still have an option to dig into the source code yourself, while on windows you're pretty much done unless you have a support contract with ms.
Ahh, look! Its my nearly decade long experience with Linux in one sentence! So that whole non-user-friendliness thing about Linux being uncomprehensible to amateurs, that's surely just around the corner for me now, right? Right?!
Not trying to argue any point here, ur comment in this context just made me chuckle.
