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!

    Are there programs that are locked behind a terminal?

    Are you kidding? There are literally hundreds of commands in the terminal which don't have a symmetrical GUI application baked into the OS.

    Why would you create a whole GUI for a simple command such as scp and tail. Literally half of Linux is solely in the terminal

    Oh ok. I guess we have a different definition of what "locked" means. One could definitely make a GUI for simple commands. Who knows, maybe some students somewhere already have.
