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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
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.

- Comments written in other languages are allowed.
- The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We 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.

I want that feeling to disappear, by having Linux completely dominate the OS space.
Sex is cool and all, but that feeling of something natively supporting Linux….
Microsoft Linux is what you want.
Unfortunately, that's where I see it heading. And for all the good intentions out there, as soon as the corpos get involved, it goes to shit.
I think we're a few principled maintainers away from standard enshittification of the Linux Foundation.
Without the „corpos“ spending money on developing the Linux ecosystem, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Red Hat (systemd), Oracle, IBM made a lot possible. Apple took KHTML and turned it into WebKit, the browser engine bundled with GTK and Qt.
Google managed to capture Linux with Chromebooks and Android phones. However their spending benefited others as well.
Single maintainers can’t do much to stop a determined corporation with money from forking a component or writing a replacement. I remember how Debian maintainers spent immense amounts of time and energy into fighting about adoption of systemd to replace sysv init.
Then it will just be distros shitting on each other...
End Linux Racism!
