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.
- 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. ย
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.

Last time I saw a software related BSOD on my personal device was.... 10 years ago.
Hardware, obviously, happens, but that's not Windows at fault.
The longest time I had to wait for an update to finish was 20 minutes - since around Windows 10 dropped.
Seriously, it's like you guys still think Windows is what Windows ME used to be...
last time i had a BSOD was when i tried to execute the .msi installer for firefox on a fresh install
Did you use any debloaters before that?
nope. i started the fresh install, downloaded the install, double clicked, bsod. on the second try it worked
Yeah, everyone is an idiot but you, congratulations. We're all making shit up, our computers crash because we're noobs. Thank you for your contribution.
Pro-tip: clean install Windows, don't use any "debloaters", just uninstall the software you don't want, and leave it like that.
You'll enjoy a long and happy OS life.
Pro-tip: don't install Windows, don't use any "debloaters", just install Linux Mint
You'll enjoy a long and happy OS life.
That's a good tip too.
Although people really demonise Windows much more than it deserves (these days).
