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!

    You mean: Windows 9 '11

    I'm certain my productivity at work dropped significantly because of this fucking upgrade. It's slow as molasses, at times unstable and 50% of the time I send the laptop to "hibernate," both it and me wake up to yet another update cycle, meaning it did a completely unwanted hard restart and my unsaved work has been lost without a warning. Crazy my company is paying for that shit.

    I had windows 10 do that while hibernating as well, so that part isn't new. Windows is just a prick.

    It was buggy and crashed a lot, but at least there was no telemetry.

    Windows 3.1 and 3.11 were amazing. Windows 95 was fine. Windows 98 was much better. Windows ME would make the most sense in this tag’s context, but it’s not a number so 95 is the next best option.
