Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 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.

    Most monitors and graphics cards support only 8-bit (per color).

    Plenty of monitors support 10 bit colour. You need higher than 8 bit for any colour spaces larger than sRGB, such as DCI-P3 or Adobe RGB, and most good monitors support higher than 100% sRGB coverage.

    Out of all the colours that humans can perceive, sRGB covers around 35% of them, DCI-P3 covers around 52%, and Rec 2020 (which is 11 or 12 bit) covers around 75%. Colours look more vibrant when using DCI-P3 or Rec 2020 because there's literally more colours available.
