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!

    I only switched this week, and I kinda disagree with the meme.

    It's both.

    I'm only dual booting because I'm a gamer and some games only run on Windows.

    I use Linux because it plays games better.

    We've come so far for there to be truth in that statement

    I use Linux because I care about privacy.

    You use Linux because you want to rice.

    We’re not the same.

    I left for Linux because Windows bad, stayed on Linux because Linux good.

    I use linux because I can make it look like Vegetable Valley from the Kirby games.

    [–] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 months ago

    You use Linux because cuz Linux is good.

    I use Linux because the BSDs are less popular. I want to get paid and have corporate applications on my desktop.

    We are not the same. 😂

    You're clearly not running servers.

    Switched in 2002...because I wanted to fuck with web dev and IIS sucks donkey nads. LAMP stack good, IIS/ASP/MSSql bad.

    One of the biggest reasons I switched was of all the MS telemetry bullshit. That and I don’t know if I ever legally paid for a copy of Windows and I was tired of playing the key gen / cracked ISO game.

    I’ve used Debian flavors of Linux for servers before so switching to it as my full time desktop OS was not hard. That, and, I don’t really use my desktop for stuff that uncommon. Most of the stuff I need I can get out of the box from the software center.

    When was it not mainstream? First there was computer then Linux.

    Linux predated Unix in my book
