Windows gets in the news almost daily with new ways they made their product worse. Of course people are shitting on them, it's still as relevant as years ago.

Absolutely this. If everyone just used their preferred OS and got along doing computer things, that'd be great. But when biggie-techs like M$ are constantly deciding to make stonks-money-fueled, idiotic waves that forcibly affect practically everyone who uses a computer at all, (like a dedicated "AI button" on keyboards. Or announcing they'll suddenly just paperweight WMR (VR) devices whenever they feel like it, or the whole "Windows 11 makes a bunch of recent hardware incompatible" thing, or Bing shenanigans...), it draws plenty of justified ire.

I grew up with Windows and loved it until later versions began getting more and more "user-hostile".

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.

    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.
