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 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 sudo in 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.
    • 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.

    it doesn’t though.

    it does

    people continue to use Windows because it’s already installed.

    That's not the only reason, and it's not the biggest reason. People pay $200 to get windows on a new computer because they're never been exposed to anything else.

    people continue to use Ubuntu because they have brain damage

    This comment says a lot about your opinion, especially why no one cares about it.

    Why not use a free distro

    people continue to use ___________ because it’s already installed.

    Let them use whatever in the hell they want. It gets them exposure that there's life without Windows/Mac. You can hate ubuntu without gatekeeping people.

    [–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago

    I'm not gatekeeping. they can use whatever OS they want, I'll still mock them for using Ubuntu because it's a sub-par OS built by a worldwide corporation that sells your telemetry to its vendors.

    not to mention they force their proprietary app shitstack on their users that the Linux community at large continues to complain about.

    so no, not gatekeeping, just calling out the worst parts of a corrupt shit-os.
