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
sudoin 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.

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.

But why wouldn't they just use Linux? Are they stupid?
Sir, this is a ~~Wendy's~~ Linux meme community.
Love how the post and comic are about listening to others and don't try to troubleshoot/solve their problem and 15% of people are like "absolutely not".

It is a work computer and it is not my choice.
Too fucking bad. You are not entitled to complain if you refuse to help yourself fix your problem.

I endure Windows on my work computer because it's not my computer. I also don't like when people complain about solvable problems and contribute time and money to a company that should have been forcibly liquidated in the late 90's.
tl:dr use Linux or I will crawl into your bedroom and suck your toes while you're asleep.
