- 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

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.

MODERATORS
like when they say os x is just linux with a pretty ui. yeah they share a lot of components with bsd but that's about it.
My brother tried to use his macbook to put spongebob on the TV and it wouldn't let him due to drm reasons. Don't let this shit become the new normal. It's GNU Linux or nothing for me.
Doesn't MacOS have more in common with BSD than Linux?
Yes but idiots think that macOS is Linux because they don't wanna know the distinction to Unix-like.
I would say that both osx and Linux are flavors of Unix, not that macs run Linux.
MacOS is actually the only desktop OS that's officially a Unix OS (meaning it's officially certified). The others are mostly mainframe OSes. https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/
Linux is "Unix-like", but it's not actually Unix. Linux was inspired by Minix, not by Unix.
People sometimes confuse Unix with POSIX. MacOS is also fully POSIX compliant whereas Linux is mostly POSIX compliant (but don't think it's quite 100% especially with newer POSIX standards).
