  • 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.

    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.

    Wait is the joke that it has no windows or that some Linux users have never gone outside in their entire life?!?

    [–] [email protected] 84 points 1 year ago (4 children)

    What's this "outside" people keep saying I should go to? I use Arch, BTW.

    [–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

    I've been there. It's awful. Full of natural light and... blegh... people.

    Zero stars, I'd rather use Ubuntu

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    The only type of β€œPeople” I know of are Richard Stallman, and Linus Torvalds! Never seen anyone other than myself in my life. Is that normal?

    What about anime cat girls? You do know some of those, don't you?

    You forgot something...

    • firewalld
    • network manager

    My work is done... 666

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    firewalld I understand, but why is NetworkManager scary? Is it the capital letters in the package name?

    Zero stars? I think there are at least a few stars, in the sky at night.

    I didn't find it in the AUR. Probably not worth it.

    It's this place where the light burns your skin and the plants release pollen that triggers your allergies. Nobody should go there unless they're one of the people that makes desktop wallpapers.

    Both of those things, plus also that due to Linux is being best served via the command line, so a "GUI" like a window would be unnecessary

    [–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago

    I see he hasn't installed the window manager yet

    [–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

    I suppose no backdoors either

    Things people do to avoid window tax.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Theres a tax on.......windows?

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    There used to be

    These days we have a license cost for Windows.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    This seems to be America though.

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

    Nah, just a Russian millionaire with problematic opinions.

    Door appears to have a Window

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

    Only one though, so they're good

    Germans would hate to live in that house due to no lΓΌften.

    I mean, true, technically windows ARE the largest heat loss source. Also they are very bright!

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    We really should have insulated window blinds or shutters that easily / automatically close at night or in the winter.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (4 children)

    Germany is laughing at us rn

    Drawback: zero ventilation. I sincerely hope Harry Homeowner here doesn't have any pets, especially ferrets.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    Does your house get ventilation through closed Windows? Or do you just leave them open year-round?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    True but then you can just get an HRV/ERV.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Bro why does this freak me out.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    It is highly unsettling. Its real enough and I think it's the imagining walking past that and it feeling like a glitch in the matrix.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    So, what’s this really? Is it photoshopped or is it a pump station/electric substation?

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    It could be some type of service building made to look like a house so that it blends in better with the neighbourhood.

    Here's an example of an electrical substation made to look like a house.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    Yeah these days this is done in 2min with remove tool.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    I mean I just found it on the web but I'm sure it's 'shopped.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    It’s been GIMPed.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    Linux user probably can’t afford a home, so maybe a MacOS user

    lol downvotes are funny considering at least two threads on the front page are about unaffordable housing prices. Wasn’t trying to be mean, just an attempt at topical humor, sheesh

    I get it, it's because this house lacks personality. Like a Linux user.

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

    Shit, guess if I stuck with windows all those years ago, I would have a personality like yours..

    Sounds like I made the right choice!

    Finally, enough wall-space for all my bookshelves.

    A. Huxley wants to live here and have television walls instead of windows.
