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!

    If linux distros were WW2 tanks.

    Linux Mint - M4 Sherman
    Sturdy, reliable, easy to build and maintain

    Ubuntu - T-34
    Easy to build, does what you want it to but terribly unreliable and tends to break down after a while

    Arch - Tiger

    Hard to build and takes too long, works great in design but in practice it just breaks down, over riced causing it to be unstable

    Debian - Challenger

    The best, usable in any situation, fairly easy to build and mighty reliable.

    Linux Lite - M24 Chaffee

    Fast, small, easy to build and unusually reliable for a light distro.

    CentOS - Char B1

    Outdated but still a beast of a distro.

    The fact you know this much about Linux distros and WW2 tanks might actually might actually make you the nerdiest of the nerds.

    Dude this is awesome, and as a Linux nerd and tank nerd, a great comparison!

    Slackware - T-55 or M3 Stuart

    Outdated and should have been dead and gone a long time ago, but somehow still in service in a few places and stable
