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 can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

    The usual, I would but games (and proprietary software for work)

    I run a Linux machine literally next to my Windows desktop and yeah it's 98% for my daily usually but that's still a week worth of "Not working" for my year.

    Fallout 3 was hard enough to get working on Windows many moons ago but even with all the "Use Lutris" or "Use Heroic" cries, it'd be easier to run a whole Windows VM than to get it running natively and in the forty minutes of time I have to game, I'd rather just play the game sometimes.

    So, if I have to play in their Sandbox, I'm gonna shit in it first so they don't try to come play too.

    Plus, VR and all that.

    That's why my windows partition is still in regular use. I play apex legends. It used to play flawlessly on pop is but over a year ago at this point it started screwing up.

    I'd usually be able to get it working after a while, but when I have 30-45 minutes or maybe an hour at most to game, I don't want to spend all of it "fixing". I'd rather restart into windows and be playing in a minute.
