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!

    In my experience, Linux folks are just happy to find each other in the wild.

    Hell, I'm just happy to meet people that are Linux-curious lol.

    It's mostly online that the distro wars are fought.

    I've never met a linux enthusiast or even a user IRL. So at this point if I ever do, they will achieve best friend status off of that alone.

    So strange that an operating system has that affect on me

    You never knowingly met a Linux user. Statistically speaking, you probably have.

    The issue is that OS-preference is not very common as a small talk topic. This is why you should name drop your fav distro in every conversation.

    I have "rm -rf /" tattooed on my left arm. I'm hoping one day I hear someone say "Hey you forgot --no-presrve-root or /*".

    Met one guy (my therapist weirdly enough) that knew it was a *nix command. That was pretty cool.
