Sister communities:


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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    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.

    Controversial take but I think It's weird how this community is so "FOSS is great even if it doesn't have the 1 feature you need" then will turn around and say "Your unpaid labor for the good of this community is not acknowledged and because you wanted to make a UI in a language you know I will not only refuse to use it, but will shit on it"

    Like I get you don't like electron but there's a lot of work that the developer put into it. I think that work should be appreciated instead of clowning on them! To use the line every terminal lover uses when someone asks for a UI: "It's open source, make it yourself." (note, I'm not saying terminal only programs are bad. It's just annoying to be selectively "do it yourself" when someone else is asking for it and this meme when you're asking for it)

    (Unless this is about closed source programs, then yeah that's fair.)
