1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    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.

    Weird hill? You quoted my comment trying to gotcha me, then painting yourself into a corner and essentially walking back on your "argument".

    My original comment stands, there's nothing Linux can offer me that Windows already doesn't. That includes "Privacy" as I am in control over that with my setup and Windows. I do not care what you 'think' about it, I KNOW that.

    Why are you having an aneurism over this, why is it so difficult to grasp this simple concept?

    [–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Yes, it's a weird hill to die on. My statement is factually correct. Even if you try to harden your Windows installation with the amount of effort to payoff that's equal to driving across the country to visit your next door neighbour, it's a weird hill to die on.

    there's nothing Linux can offer me that Windows already doesn't.

    Well, if you really want to have that convo, I'm more than prepared for that. Aside from privacy, there's the level of security and performance that Windows only dreams of. This isn't an opinion, these are just facts at this point.

    I do not care what you 'think' about it, I KNOW that.

    I guess you're the only person on the planet who does.

    Why are you having an aneurism over this

    Sounds like you're the one getting worked up. I frankly don't care what you think you know. I don't use Windows for a whole truck load of reasons. If you want to spend hours on end modifying the OS and fighting with built-in defaults, and then convince yourself it's secure. Then go right ahead, its no skin off my back.

    But you're definitely the one getting defensive over Windows.

    Lmao, that's not what "factually correct" means.

    Edit: I'm not defending Windows. I'm just annoyed by annoying people spreading misinformation and assuming that just because they're not capable of achieving something - nobody is. Lack of knowledge and dumbassery.
