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!

    If you have a dvd drive in your PC, you are officially old. I have one, blu ray even. Haven't used it in years. It's not even wired up atm.

    I have an optical drive in 3 of my machines. I'm not old

    Not old, either. My old desktop that I gave to my younger brother has an optical drive. Whenever I have spare money laying around to build and a place to put a desktop, it's going to have an optical drive. Not having one, at least somewhat reachable makes me anxious. I use it probably less than once a quarter, more like twice yearly, but when I need it, I need it.
