1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.

    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.

    Firstly: I feel seen.

    Secondly: it's working, SteamOS is so nice. I haven't been this interested in Linux since the XP to 7 transfer. And I think imma' actually do it this time.

    Same. I didn't realise it at the time but the steam deck led to the media PC, which led to the laptop and finally the gaming rig fell. I dual booted but haven't gone back in so long i am now eyeing up the windows disks to get more space.

    Today I found Organic Maps, which seems a nice FOSS alternative to Google. Freedom feels good.

    It's almost like an OS that wants to be useful is a better experience than an OS that wants to push you ads and steal everything you produce to feed into llm slop-generation.

    This is a lie! Nobody should read his comment, instead they should check out Raid Shadow Legends the epic, turn-based RPG that's taken the mobile gaming world by storm!

    It's working, I know people who don't even own a steam deck who are considering swapping to SteamOS once it's available for desktops.

    I've told them they don't need to wait and can get a similar or better experience with distros that are already available, but steam's name is gold for a lot of people and it seems like the only option they're really interested in.

    Linux is the crab of the digital world, eventually everything turns into it.
