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

- 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
sudo
in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
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 fork-bomb your computer.

Flatpak works great. I'm sorry you don't know how to use a computer.
"hey guys, I'm having a problem with my Linux install that doesn't seem very common--"
"YOU'RE STUPID AND I HATE YOU"
this is EXACTLY why Linux gurus have a bad rep. remember the human, for goodness' sake. don't act like you've never run into a strange problem in your entire computing life that required digging deep into some 2003 forum post to solve.
Same. I would want a Linux system with nothing but Flatpaks. Native packages with tons of unwanted changes and delayed updates can go fuck themselves.
Please show me the QA process applied to flatpaks, so I know that besides it “working” is not full of obsolete vulnerable holes. Or should I just trust the Dev is not a lazy person?
