Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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!

    Back then, shit was pretty rough though.

    Bro no kidding.. You'd install and hoped your keyboard worked by the end of it.

    I stuck with it though.. Well over 20 years for me now.

    EDIT: I actually remember digging through dbus configs one time for HOURS because I couldn't get my mouse working. No joke I realized at like 3am it wasn't plugged in. Hahah.. It was such a pain in the ass back then you just assumed it was something insane.
