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.

- 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
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

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.

So they won't support Linux anymore?
That seems to be the message everyone is drawing from this.
I think it'll be more insidious than that, there will be Linux, but only "signed, verified" Linux will be allowed, and the only Linux distributions that will make that list are the ones with corporate or government versions. Specifically distributions like Google's Android, IBM's Red Hat, Canonical's Ubuntu, and China's Kylin.
This is still as horrible. Imagine Ubuntu winning the snap vs flatpack exchange, because their OS is 'legit', whereas every other distro is pushed out, because it's too much work to install an unsigned OS.
