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!

    Walk up to a random person and say "yeah recompile this software for a different architecture while having no support as the architecture is unsupported"

    Unless your using gentoo that's not a problem.

    [–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah I could personally do that with minimal effort but keep in mind the vast majority of people aren't willing to. Most new Linux users get scared when they see a terminal, how are we supposed to convince people to give up tons of basic hardware features and tell them recompile software when they can keep using a proprietary operating system?

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

    Well for now that question is unanswered. We only have demo boards and small embedded systems right now.

    I think the rise of proprietary systems has already happened and we can only get more free from here.
