  • 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!

    Does debian even exist? I've never seen it... I've used a dozen flavors of "debian" Linux professionally, as well as the headwear related branches and centos... Most recently I've gotten into nixos (I tried a half dozen distros, none of the "Nvidia friendly" distros would work with my graphics card outside safe mode, even after debugging and official docs listing it as compatible with Ubuntu... Five lines in the nix config, will nix again)

    All this time, I've seen countless mentions of this mythical debian... at this point I'm pretty sure it's just a meme, like Australia. I get Australia, someone mispronounced Austria and made up this wild story of a land full of deer who hop on two legs and kickbox (hilarious), but I don't get the joke with debian. Is it just supposed to be the mythical Linux that works on any hardware configuration?
