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. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Language/ัะทั‹ะบ/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
  • 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.
    • ย 

    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.

    If I had a dollar for every time the Nvidia driver screwed me over I still couldn't order anything with it because my graphics driver wouldn't load.

    Yeah, and if you call them out on it you're getting pillaged by at least a dozen FOSS-bros telling you that anyone who can't fix this on their own should go back to Mac or Windows, that it's your fault, your specific distro's fault or whatever their most favourite excuse for Desktop Linux' shortcomings are.

    I'm just happy both the Gnome Foundation as well as KDE e.V. are working to fix a lot of this with Flatpak (incl. a payment backend), proper unified development toolchains, Human Design Guidelines, etcโ€ฆ now if there was a nice way to more or less bundle a portable Flatpak package with all its dependencies and have it install neatly when executed (have it be opened by Gnome Software / Discovery), that would be awesome (yes I know about that USB-stick feature, no it's not the same. Yes I know AppImage, no it's not the same).

    Of course there'll always be those who'd like to stick with 90's concepts, software and even languages despite all the problems and make sure Linux stays exactly the way it is.
