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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
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.

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.

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.

linux users when the windows sudo replica still values user security and uses uac and doesnโt just let you make changes to core system files because you happened to know a four letter command ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ
Linux and Unices assume you know what you're doing
Windows assumes that the user has the mental prowess and knowledge of a 5 year old
Both can result in disaster, in glorious ways
hate this take. can we stop calling normal, non-techie people idiots?
itโs like saying the safety on a gun was designed for babies and makes the FOSS community look toxic as fuck.
The first sentence is right, but not because of intelligence (agreed toxic).
The money that goes into Linux is for corporate use by administrators. Very little money makes end user facing tools. I think given that fact the Linux desktop is an amazing result of the work of a lot of volunteers.
100% agree
the results of a gun mishap is quite different from a personal computer mishap...
so is this the first time you have encountered a simile or did you want me to spell it out for you ๐๐
Delete the French language pack!
UAC is no different from having a sudo password. They both have security measures. Sudo actually has fairly granular permissions if you can be bothered to set them up.
Windows still allows you to modify system files it's just more difficult. If you want a Linux system that doesn't let you do that those exist too, they are called immutable linux distros.
Windows does contain DRM protected files that it will not allow you to touch. Some games on the Microsoft Store for example.
Not to counter your point, just that I find it insane.
This incident will be reported
Real gamers know the way to power on windows is though NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
You can't use that as an account though.
kinda like when you can password a windows 98 account that can be avoided by simply pressing cancel
those were fun times but how is that at all similar lmao
