Sister communities:


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!


    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.

    Firefox can remove it automatically if you use the "copy without tracking" option in the rightclick menu. It works on thr url bar and on any links on any websites not just on yt.

    Mhm, would be cool if firefox would also offer a "open link without site tracking" in the contextmenu.

    There's an extension for that which remove tracking queries automatically

    Don't buy this guy's course though. Try this free resource instead. It covers every basic you need to know about linux and more

    I love how compact it is. Over time I have heard so many names, but having something put them in relation to each other is going to help a lot.

    This is a great video to introduce someone to the whole “What is Linux” thing without going into deep detail, plus showing some tools you’ll use every day.
