- 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.

Some of us do, but you can see their eyes glaze over the moment you mention Linux...
Have you heard the good word of our Lord and savior....
Good idea. When the Mormons come by, start talking to them about Linux. If they start reading scripture, you start reading man pages.
Dangerous move. What if they adopt Linux? You're then obliged to become Mormon.
This show the importance of licences ; if you request not only Linux but free licences, it makes it easier !
Accept to become mormon but if their scripture are provided under GNU GPL V3+, then you can hack them the way you want...
I don't think you can fork Mormonism.
Tbf arenβt most Christian religions forks? Of original Catholicism, which itself is a fork of Judaism?
They are different distros, and fork of distros, of a same original project. Yet it is sad to see how the trolls of the different branches are aggressive toward others.
Don't you think switching to Linux could help them in finding better ways to promote their favorite distro?
Yet, I admit linuxians too tend to have a favorite distro they fight for even if they haven't tried most others, and therefore without knowing if theirs is really better...

I have to use windows at my new job, and I hate it so much. Have I said that in the last few minutes?
Yeah, about 4 minutes ago
Thank god I got it out in time.
Windows sucks balls.
I use Arch BTW.
I will install arch soon on my host.
The arch linux experience (in the vm) is great so far. Just search if you need help, install corresponding software for something to work, etc.
I donβt even need to say it anymore. Every single time a coworker, friend, or family member expresses frustration with Windows in my vicinity, I just shoot them a snarky glance and they preemptively tell me to shut up. β€οΈ
I saw this, told my cats, and felt better
I feel worse because I donβt have cats and you do have cats. Itβs a catastrophe.
- step one: put food bowl out and refill it on a constant schedule
- there is no step two
Edit: listing is hard

I use glorious Nixos.
This is not a recommendation. It is an abusive relationship. Do not install nixos without research.
NixOS is a dangerous drug, but at least it's a drug without side effects, since Nix is purely functional.
My brother jokes about this referring to me, but lately he has been noticing the power of Linux and FOSS, he switched to Lichess from Chess.com and immediately noticed the benefits and how the are totally worth the downsides.
He also noticed how quick my system is, and how cool is that I can hibernate my laptop.
I just hope my efforts make them all switch (at least their personal computers) to Linux at some point.
I'm as much a Linux fan as you, but windows computers also hibernate without issue

top left pic is the same girl in the meme about the guy watching another girl while walking with her GF ?
I'm using MX Linux BTW
Hey guys, I use Linux Mint btw!
Nobody brags about windows lmao
Not these days, at least.
I did go around telling people how much better 7 was over Vista at the time, though.

For Arch users it's only 5 minutes. MX Linux users it's 3 1/2 minutes.
Edit: I actually meant to say NixOS users, but MX Linix users probably feel the same.
It's like the Crossfit of tech
Holy crap maybe that's why I've been in such a trash mood for a few weeks
Btw I don't use Arch
Been actively suffocating for 10min
Isn't this mainly an Arch meme? I think most Linux users who have been using it for several years don't go around talking much about it anymore. But I admit the meme kinda does depict mid-teenage me who had recently switched to Linux.
I'm still on Windows 10. Sure would love a reason to switch...
You fucking fiends.
It's actually really easy, the best is to start with Linux From Scratch. That's how you get a couple of hours of heartwarming fun and games.
Start on your grandmother's PC she can join the fun

Akshually its called GNU/Linux π€
Switching to Linux desktop was last years news. Now I go around telling everyone about my Linux server (Debian BTW).
I dunno, I've never head anyone evangelize Windows.
Apple, yes. But honestly Linux users seem to have overtaken Apple users with their evangelizing.
As a basic bitch Mint user, I like seeing the meme using women instead of the usual men! Didn't even know I wanted that.
