- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

you either go back to windows, or turn into this guy. There is no 3rd option.
Unfortunately, MacOS is far more popular than it should be.
I deliberately said Windows instead of Mac, because all the apple users I know are the type of people who will never, ever try linux in the first place.
As someone who's been a fan of Free Software since I first heard of it in the late '90s, I used and recommended Macs in the early 2000s because (at time, at least) Apple was leaning into the Unix-nature and BSD underpinnings of the thing and coming out with stuff like XServe and Automator.
Not so much these days, though. Apple's pivot in ideology towards locked-down consumer crap like iOS and the App Store -- even going so far as to ditch bash for zsh just because they hated GPLv3 -- ruined it.
Yeah, that makes sense.
At least it follows Unix conventions so it’s real computing
