2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- 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.
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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
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.
5. ๐ฌ๐ง Language/ัะทัะบ/Sprache

- Comments written in other languages are allowed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. ย
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 remove France.

I call bullshit. Youโre telling me theyโre choosing some bullshit knockoff cherry red crap over arguably one of the best laptop keyboards ever created?
Thatโs AI man.
Red is crap. Gotta go blue or clear.
Well if weโre talking switches, get with the kailh box dark yellow and feel the burn.
Alps
Iโll allow it.
Alps and Topre are the best.
I really want to try a topre keyboard but I haven't come across one cheap or free yet and they're so expensive usually
Mechanical switches? Ugh, brother, ugh, what's that brother?
Ascend with me to hall effect switches
I went all in on magnetic analog keys. Everything can be joystick now.
Is that another term for optical switches?
No, another term for magnetic switches
Who the fuck buys a keyboard? I usually get free ones from relatives.
People who are not poor
I'm in the remnants of middle class (in Slovenia, but still), but am still a student, so no disposable income.
Yeah hall effect is cool, but I demand a good old fashioned crack or pop sound when I hit a key. Typing should sound like armies of beetles with swords fighting.
