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, 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
  • 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.
  • Β 

    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.

    Transcript: A small penguin approaches an Antarctic research team, says "Excuse me!", moves closer and continues "Do you have a moment to talk about Linux?"

    I don't understand why this is so true. I just got into Linux a few months ago and I have to constantly stop myself from talking everyone and anyone's ear off about it. why am I this way? why are so many other Linux users the same?

    Unlearning Windows habits, solving the inherent difficulties of existing in a Windows-centric ecosystem, going against the path of least resistance, is a challenge. Overcoming it is an achievement that you should be proud of.

    We're just elated to be free of Microsoft's bullshit. Don't worry, you should mellow out in a couple years. Then again, there is a possibility you'll go the opposite way and eat stuff from your foot. https://youtu.be/I25UeVXrEHQ

    Man I hate when people share that video.

    How would you feel if a video of you doing something weird was viewed by over half a million prople?

    Recommending and talking about things you use and enjoy is natural and everyone does it constantly, but if it goes against the moral compass of the majority of society, it's suddenly frowned upon and made fun of. Same thing veganism struggles with

    That is so much me 14 yo! I kinda grew out of this or learned that most people won't care much... Or I'm just a boomer now and barely care about anything.

    I'm 34 and switched ten years ago. I used to gush about it but the honeymoon is over and I know that it's not perfect, now I only mention it casually when it's relevant. Most people don't care and that's fine, but sometimes people are actually interested, I've converted a few and helped some migrate. There is a risk you'll bump into a closed-minded Windows fan who will mock and berate you though.

    arctic research team

    Antarctic. Penguins are found almost exclusively south of the equator.

    Ah thanks, I knew that but I wasn't thinking when I wrote. Edited. :)

    Puffins to the north, Penguins to the South.

    I up voted immediately just because of the presents of the transcript it really helps the visually impaired.
