Sister communities:


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 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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.
  • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  •  

    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.

    Right, The only people concerned about Telemetry are conspiracy theorists.

    You can call me a conspiracy theorist, I can say you're a paid troll. That's easy, this is a fun game.

    and a good amount of them understand that it’s used for improving software.

    linking a linux sucks community, SURELY that is full of nothing but good intensions and good solid facts.

    What Linux advocates call ads are introductions to features and things that would benefit them,

    I cannot wait to start benefitting from "7 tips for handling hot summer hikes", or "Get Skype", or "Rousey more than 'most dominate athelete'"

    Many of us have been using Windows without ever encountering a virus.

    Most of us, of working age in offices the early 00's have numerous zero day worms. There was no protection.

    We’ve seen this propaganda f

    The gall of you to call out propaganda, while pointing to a windows propaganda site, while cherry-picking and spilling out bald-faced lies in your post.

    Proton keeps realease new compatibility updates.

    Tell me, do you want improving software or not, you're giving out some real mixed signals.

    Only recently did WINE (not Proton) fix the frame timing issue that made some games unbeatable mid-game (far worse than not working).

    Wine also makes numerous games run at a higher frame rate than windows. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47507150

    The real difference is not only is stuff running faster, they'll keep releasing updates for shit that gets broken, that's part of understanding how to improve software.

    Most people aren’t bothering with an email client these days.

    55 and already retired? Man that must be nice.

    I have't seen a company in 50 years that doesn't use email. And, wasn't the use of corporate software that doesn't run in linux one of your primary propaganda targets? You really need to make up your mind on that one.

    The linux sucks community is his own, and he instantly bans anyone that even posts neutral comments. You have to agree, or you're not on there. I'm not exactly sure if he's just a persistent troll or if he has some weird reason to hate linux this much. What's obvious is, he's not interested in discussion.

    sounds like he's just windows marketing :)

    I'm proud to be banned from that community, lol.

    Don't know what this guy's problem is, really. Did Linux kill his parents? Did Linux impregnate his wife? Did Linux kidnap his children?

    Did Linux impregnate his wife?

    That's not due until the next Wayland update....
