  • 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.

    Nah I went over to camp Debian for a long time, switched when Debian Potato was released. Then when Debian kinda stalled I was lured into Ubuntu because they had the latest and greatest. I know it isn't the cool choice these days, but I have stuck with Ubuntu ever since.

    Recently tired Ubuntu on my work laptop and it was a surprisingly pleasant experience compared to all the negative things I've heard about Ubuntu. Especially the installer was next level simple.

    Yeah I love Ubuntu, it's really fine. But I think because it's easy and for a lot of people their first Linux, it's seen as like the baby version of Linux. So people bitch about it a lot, as if it's somehow inferior to other distros. Like if you don't compile everything from scratch you are somehow not worthy?

    Hard "Real programmer" vibes. https://xkcd.com/378/

    And yes, I use pico as a text editor, it's fine really.

    Mint is basically Ubuntu without the controversial bits.

    Wow! That's really cool, Debian Potato was so hype back then. And every new release was amazing, I had Sarge running for so long. And I had a little home made router with Debian Sarge and an uptime of like 3 years. I had to replace the NIC on it, from a 10mbit coax only to a coax and UTP model because I was switching over to UTP. I didn't want to shutdown the server, so I live swapped the ISA cards, and it actually worked!

    Those were the days.
