- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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.

The difference is, cars are better than horses. Windows 8, 10 and 11 are all worse than 7.
what a terrible take. honestly this community is like a parody of itself sometimes
How so? 7 is the last good version of Windows. It's not surprising some people want to keep using it. It does have security issues but at least there are no ads in the Start menu and it doesn't shill for OneDrive on startup.
So that is true it doesn't do those bad things, but what makes it actually good and not just not bad?
Nothing, it's still Windows. But at least it doesn't actively get in the user's way.
Fair enough. I wish we could fork it.
Edit: by we I mean someone who knows what they're doing or even what should be done. Which isn't me.
