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.

    You get a huge backlash if you advice Windows to a Linux user.

    But somehow this is supposed to be funny?

    [–] Euphoma@lemmy.ml 22 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    Its funny because a lot of people do this even though its completely unhelpful in solving their problem.

    [–] puchaczyk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 10 months ago

    To be fair, Windows' support is also unhelpful in solving their problem.

    It's the "just Google it" response

    [–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

    Ah, the funny part is the cringe, I see.

    I encountered it tons before, like people suggesting Chrome when the only browser that was supported was IE back in the day.

    the irony is the "just use another distro" advices

    [–] nicoweio@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

    To be fair, using Linux is (usually) much more of an active decision.
