- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- 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.
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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. ย
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 remove France.

Okay look, when my current drive fails I'm never EVER reinstalling Microsoft,cand I'm not getting another Microsoft computer. Macos was never even an option...
So One Dayโข I will chomp down hard on that cracker....
I even broke out my old laptops to see if I could salvage an hdd to give current laptop (with space for an extra hard drive) a separate (if smaller) Linux drive.
Sadly all 3 were unusable, they literally freeze everything that tries to access them...
But I pinky swear I'll be making the swap Soonโข
Do it! You will not miss Microslop. I've been running Linux for about a year now and do not miss Windows. There's some learning to do and some things may take a little work to work right but thats being resolved more and more every day and its worth it. I run my main gaming PC on CachyOS and my media server on Mint and its just great. Will never go back to Microshit.
This is unironivally what switch my dual boot to just linux. Drive was failing. ext4 on linux handled it no hicups, windows crashed hard nevet came back.
