- 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 will not be tolerated.
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.
4. No recent reposts

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
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 remove France.

Beginner distros are even worse, once you're past the absolute beginner phase and start to notice what I call "the fuck you features" you start to hate linux as much as windows, for example, sound always starts with a fade in so notification sounds get muted, that's because there's an energy savings option active by default, you'll find dozens of forum posts telling you how to fix it except, fuck you, none of them work anymore because that configuration file is not there anymore and you must create it and figure out what to write in it.
Another example, celluloid opens subtitles by default, you don't want that? Fuck you, create a configuration file somewhere and good luck finding out what to write in it. You end up installing vlc.
Things like these has been my experience with linux for the last 15 years.
Lol are you guys bots by apple, microsoft and co? You are so hateful regarding linux. I guess i just have to accept the dead internet theory. Just bots manipulating the masses so big tech companys can still sell their monopolic shit cuz LiNuX StilL sO bAd :(((((
Very mature. If you're going to act like a toddler, I'll put you in the timeout box.
For the record, your reply to my comment had no bearing on my decision, and I'll preserve the entire comment chain in case I find myself on YPTB.
Are you one of those fanboys incapable to see anything wrong in the things they like?
I've been using Linux as a daily driver for the last twenty years. Linux has plenty of issues that no one bothers to fix because there's been some workaround since day one. The philosophy seems to be still they are nerds, they'll figure it out.
