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!

    Well I never used command line in 30 years of Windows.

    That's 30 years of using closed source software from strangers (Or do you have many good friends at Redmond WA USA ?) :-)

    It’s pretty much a requirement for Linux that you copy and paste random commands you don’t understand from strangers on the internet.

    Maybe decades ago it was. Nowadays that's not a requirement as there's GUI applications for a lot more things than before. And as a Linux user I simply find it much more convenient and faster to share some commands with another person than making screen shots and creating a howto of a few pages or making a video. Also documentation has improved. For the average Linux user the Arch Linux wiki is a nice resource, even when not using Arch Linux.

    Funnylie enough, if im not doing programmer/networking stuff, there are only 3 reasons to open a terminal

    • run a script, because mousepad likes to open them
    • run pacman, because pamac broke again
    • checking the error log, because updates or playing around broke something
