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 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.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    One finger is not enough for that, could be ESC, F2, F12, DEL or whatever else the bios manufacturer landed on when they threw a dart at the keyboard.

    Roll your face across the keyboard repeatedly

    It's more reliable than guessing the key.

    Works 10/10 times, tested

    If you're on an EFI based system and have systemd, you can use systemctl reboot --firmware-setup to get into BIOS!

    Wow, this really is the 21st century

    DEL has always worked in my experience, even when they don't specify it.
