Linux users are pretty much one of the biggest obstacles in the way of Linux adoption.

Use Linux but not that Linux!

And may the gods help you if you ask a noobish question related to Linux on some distros' forums or reddit.

Q: How do I frob the qux in the GUI?

A1: only morons frob the qux, you need to fleem the flarb and you'd know this if you read the wiki

A2: read the wiki. No I'm not going to link to it out of principle, do it yourself

A3: only morons use the GUI, use the terminal!

A4: [unrelated answer involving hammers and plankton]

A5: everybody should know how to frob the qux you fuckin noob

Ok it's not quite this bad anymore and I'm being hyperbolic, but reality isn't too far from this either. It's like people looked at Linus' abusive rants and went "yes this is exactly how we should behave as a community"

Really, if people understood how to use hammers and plankton properly, we wouldn't even need computers.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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!
