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.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    "they have sane defaults" is the most insane thing I heard about Macs. Their stupid fucking defaults is what I hate the most about macs. Example: enter key. Its default behavior is to RENAME a file while you have to hit a two key combo to open a file. That will never make sense to me. Might sound like a minor thing, but the whole system is so full of such small annoying things. At first I thought it was annoying because I was not used to that stuff, but I've been using a Mac for quite a while now and I still find the OS mostly annoying.

    Perhaps rather than saying it's stupid, you can just say "it's not for me" as I stated I've been a long term Linux user, installing everything from Arch to Void, I even did a brief stint using LFS, I enjoy Linux however I prefer macOS, but I don't go around saying I hate Linux because I don't there is nothing wrong with it, i just prefer the way macOS works and that is a preference.

    Likely macOS is just not the correct choice for you.
