- 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.

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.

I completely shattered my NixOS install by trying to activate Nvidia Prime on my laptop. Of course it was NixOS, so i could roll back from the boot loader. There was the time I used vim to edit /etc/sudoers on a remote VM. that was a joy.
If you screw up most of your core windows install DISM online cleanup will put most of it back.
Windows has more guard rails than say Debian or Ubuntu. But to each their own.
I mean you can remove all remote admin rights on Windows too haha, remote gives you way more opportunities screw stuff up.
But usually on Linux you can boot in single user or chroot in from the installer and unhose whatever you hosed. Windows you get dism and SFC and if they don't work there's really not anything you can do.
