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!

Like accidentally mounting your root subvolume in your home directory while it's still mounted as root. I mounted root to a directory called games in my home folder. I noticed some crap in it after accidently copying the contents of the wrong directory into it and without a second though
rm -rf games/*
Before I knew it, I saw my desktop unload before my eyes until I was left with nothing but a solid white _ in the top corner.My home folder was on a slow hard drive and I was trying to make a subvolume on the small but fast SSD. I ended up just making a symbolic link to a folder on root after reinstalling.
