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.
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.

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.

- 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.

Wish granted, your university rolls out ChromeOS on all devices.
I've tried, at least in theory, to migrate an entire university's classroom computers to Linux. Even in the absence of technical limitations, the one obstacle I can't overcome is entirely human. ~~The living fossils~~ Our esteemed tenured professors refuse to change their habits because they need their Netbeans, they need their Eclipses, they need their Visual Studios. In a lot of ways, it feels like wayland-protocols' governance. A single NACK from a stubborn fool kneecaps the entire project, and now the university gets to spend hundreds of thousands of euros upgrading the computer labs because the perfectly usable computers are juuuust barely outside Win11's requirements.
Sidebar: Back when I was a student at that same university, when Windows was small enough to allow dual-booting with Ubuntu from the same SSD, my Prog-1 teacher insisted on using Joe. He hated Vim, Emacs, and Nano with an equal passion.
Let’s install Gentoo on all ~~university~~ computers.
FTFY
emerge the @world!
Why? So that we can spend the next week recompiling the kernel? (This is a joke, please don't spam my inbox with distro holy wars)
Would love to do this but I don’t think all those niche specialized apps will run on Linux. They barely function under windows as it is.
Monday rolls around, they’ve finished like four of them. “Why won’t this kernel work?! NO, for the last time I’m not using genkernel! It’ll be a bloated mess.”
Slackware for the worst professors.
Still too modern. Try NetBSD.
