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!

    No you're using Termux with bash. Unless you're actually interfacing with the kernel directly in which case ignore me and carry on.

    Anyways this is a great example of why "Linux" as the name of the OS is stupid. GNU/Linux is better (for GNU-based, obviously, don't go wheeling out the Alpine copypasta because I'm not talking about that).

    Alpine Linux is actually a great example of why you are right. Because when people say Linux to describe the OS, they almost always mean GNU/Linux (Linux Mint, Arch Linux, etc). But then there is Alpine, which also calls itself Linux, but its developers actually mean something very different, because it's not GNU/Linux. So that only makes things even more confusing. Android doesn't even use the mainline Linux kernel, so calling it Linux is probably even worse than with Alpine.

    If we always used the correct names, there wouldn't be so much confusion.
