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.

    Spellcheck crosses out even basic English, has me questioning myself! I've probably added 2,000 words to the dictionary, no improvement.

    Weird graphic artifacts, non-stop, it's blinking as I edit this post.

    Sometimes the graphics go fuzzy and I have to reboot, not even restarting the video drivers works, no issue in Edge.

    Imgur doesn't load. I use the Imagus extension in both browsers, flawless in Edge, spotty in Firefox. (Yes, that's on Imagus, probably not the browser.)

    I can watch YouTube logged in on Edge with Ublock, no ads. Have to log out in Firefox. So if I see an interesting video here, I have to copy/paste to Edge.

    Porn browsing? Straight to Edge. What six keys do I need to hit for private mode again? CTRL+SHIFT+N, as it ever was.

    There's more, but those issues are top of mind.

    I could probably figure out these issues, point being, non-technical users would run away. Kinda like how lemmy is utterly broken for me. My brain just shunts off the annoyances, but I can't expect anyone else to do so.

    I can hardly sell Linux to Joe User, when not even technical people use it as a daily driver, was the point of my original comment.

    non technical users don't tend to experience these issues, since they don't know enough about computers to get them messed up like yours
