- 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.

- 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.

With recent Affinity acquisition by Canva, I wish more and more people try GIMP. But GIMP developer should match their UI layout to industry standard.
People from Photoshop, Affinity Photo, CSP, and other tools are confused with non vertical tool box.
People have been asking for that since at least 1998 so I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for it to happen.
Is this a joke? If someone can't correlate a square box full of tools with a rectangular box full of tools then I'm surprised they managed to turn their computer on.
I'm pretty sure majority of people will understand once they try GIMP, but first impression of familiarity do effect people's retention.
I mean that is basically what people's UI complaints usually boil down to: things are in different places than where I'm used to.
It's open source. Support the devs or help out yourself.
I do, but in a different way. I generally report bugs or triaging bugs.
