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!

    Man, I wish there were more people around me who cared about discussing Linux and open source software. Only one person I know actually understands it, but he’s still running windows for games and programming.

    windows [...] programming.

    People drink the Microsoft Kool aid, it's called money, they generally want it.

    They have been taken by the dark side.

    I still use Windows as my main computer, partially because I got this computer before getting into linux and have built up a lot files on it, and because I have a WMR VR headset that doesn't currently have controller support on the open source drivers (maybe once Microsoft kills WMR with the next windows version I'll switch)

    It is said that the true linux developer can survive for months at a time on nothing but a piece of dead skin from a callus on his foot and the energy of the community-maintained free and open-source software

    [–] NationProtons@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

    Yeah. He even has a server rack at home. But still uses windows for all his devices. Luckily he’s not crazy enough to run windows server.

    Windows is the most common operating system for developers

    https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#section-most-popular-technologies-operating-system

    Visual studio which the the most used IDE after Visual Studio Code is only available on Windows and Mac.

    The Mac version will soon be retired though.

    Then you‘re definitely in the wrong circle. Join a local computer club if that exists. Changes things dramatically.

    [–] NationProtons@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

    That sounds pretty nice actually. I’m based in Sydney, but I don’t really find anything like a computer club nearby.

    Maybe i just don’t know how to search for it.

    Luckily I even know 2 persons who are into Linux and FOSS.
