Home and workstation PCs are about the only things that aren’t *nix based operating systems. Android uses a Linux kernel. Mac OS and iOS are Unix based. PlayStation 5 is FreeBSD based. Nintendo Switch is a Unix-like mashup of FreeBSD and Android according to Wikipedia. Most TVs run Android, WebOS (Linux), or Roku OS (Linux based). Most web/cloud servers are Linux.

And I get that Unix and FreeBSD aren’t Linux, but they all come from the same family of operating systems. The entire world runs on mostly Linux or other *nix based operating systems.

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!
