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 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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.
  • 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.

    Jokes are usually funny though

    After the 1000th time, it stops being a joke. Say something enough times, and it becomes your truth.

    I once saw a guy standing on the edge of a bridge, about to jump. I ran over and said, "Stop! Don't do it!"

    He said, "Why shouldn't I? Nobody cares about me."

    I said, "Well, do you run Linux?"

    He said, "Yes."

    I said, "Me too! Desktop or server?"

    He said, "Server."

    I said, "Me too! Debian-based or RPM-based?"

    He said, "Debian-based."

    I said, "Me too! Debian stable or Ubuntu LTS?"

    He said, "Debian stable."

    I said, "Me too! systemd or an alternative init?"

    He said, "Alternative init."

    I said, "Me too! runit, OpenRC, or s6?"

    He said, "s6."

    I said, "Me too! s6 with s6-rc as the service manager, or s6 with 66?"

    He said, "s6-rc."

    I said, "Me too! s6-rc with the full supervision tree defined declaratively, or with hand-rolled run scripts?"

    He said, "Hand-rolled run scripts."

    I said, "Die, Poettering apologist!" And I pushed him off.
