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!

    Its an ad because its a third party. Pinball is at worst bloat, but it at least doesn't ask for money. If MS was really recommending apps then why not Chrome or LibreOffice? Its clear candy crush compensate somehow on top of not being a competitor. Thus its an ad.

    Pinball was also third party, it was a free demo of Full Tilt Pinball. I still think it wasn't as bad but I would say it still counts as an ad

    Well I stand corrected.
