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!

    I don't understand what people are doing to their machines. I've been using Arch Linux exclusively for ~10yrs now and only ONCE had a problem when upgrading Java. That was fixed in about 10mins after reading the Arch update notes.

    Most recently I've been running AwesomeWM for 2yrs and it's been so bloody stable and simple. I found KDE just as stable before but a bit heavy for my taste.

    Exactly this, I've had the same install of the "most unstable de" -arch btw for about 8 years and its fucking fine, yes sometimes you have to remove some old dependancys... the command line had always told me exactly what's wrong and a quick google later if I'm unsure, blamo it's fixed like new... haven't used Windows in about 10 years
