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 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 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
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • 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.
  • 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.
    •  

    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.

    It'll be the topic of major news outlets the world around. The BBC will have a live interview with the developers of Mint and Bazzite, governments will decide to invest in opensource to replace Windows, Mac and any other closed source viruses, there will be a Linux User Foundation that collects money purely for linux (unlike the Linux Foundation) where people can apply for jobs to work on the kernel with entry-level positions like intern and junior, the Opensource User Foundation will be founded to propagate opensource wherever and whenever possible, ... it'll be glorious!
    We will truly enter a better world, all thanks for 5% penguin.

    It will be the inflection point where we hit exponential growth. A few days later we'll be at 1024% adoption as people start running VMS inside VMS of different distros

    It has been in exponential growth since the signal was distinguishable from the noise, and exponentials do not have inflection points...

    The only inflection we can expect is when it reaches 1/4 of saturation.

    You'll forgive me if I ever-so-briefly misread your boilerplate link as "And then I woke up."

    It'll be the year of the Linux desktop!
