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.
    • ย

    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.

    I don't think the issue is dropping support, but the ridiculous requirements to upgrade to Win11, plus the fact that more recent Windows have serious enshittification that means users don't want to upgrade in the first place.

    The bottom of the meme is explicitly calling it out. Those issues are valid, but there's this shift in blame to the concept of support cycles in general.

    I don't think the bottom of the meme suggests that dropping support for old versions is inherently bad. It's part of a larger image; in combination with the other screenshots it suggests people being forced to have Recall/other Win11 enshittification.
