2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- 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.
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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. ย
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
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 remove France.

Fixed a typo in my /etc/fstab that prevented the NAS from mounting. I am a bear of little brain. But I'm also proof that you don't have to be some master hacker to successfully run Linux.
This is something I've had to do a few times.
Saved me from reinstalling. Made me realise that there really should be an alternative to typing into fstab by hand since us humans will make mistake. Either that or make fstab nog crash completly on an error but just skip it.
I have no idea how widespread it is among other distros, but ArchLinux's bootable install disk/iso comes with a
genfstabcommand that snapshots your current mount points and outputs it as a fstab.You still need to figure out where and how to mount everything yourself, but at least it saves you from most typos that could otherwise end up in the fstab file.
That's nice.
I know that the disk utilty in Ubuntu gives you the option to automatically mount a (secondary) disk at boot. It adds it to fstab for you.
