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.

The last great Windows before Microsoft began its enshittification.
I would disagree. I feel xp was the last good windows. After that it all went to shit.
You mean Windows 2000?
You mean whatever one you first used and have an unhealthy nostalgia for. I mean Windows 98.
Give me Windows 95 with Microsoft Plus!
Nah, Windows 3.11 is peak
You say that until you think back and TCP/IP wasn't a native protocol so you had to use and configure something like Trumpet Winsock for your SLIP or PPP connection. Dark days, man.
Man Microsoft plus was awesome. I used to stare at the foucault pendulum for hours when I was a kid.
You mean 98SE
3.11. So good you had to type WIN to fuck your PC.
The first version of Windows I used was 2.0. NT was a huge improvement over the DOS based ones, but things started to go downhill with XP.
