- 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.
- 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
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
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.

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.

MODERATORS
You do. But hey you end up with DRM free games you like so much. By the way why so you even want games? Aren't most of them unethical?
Gog offline installers are also unethical, no?
But to get there I have to use unethical proprietary software that I hate so much.
Who said I do?
Of course. This is why itch.io is better than gog.
Have to use that to get more unethical software. I see no problem.
Games don't come with the source code. It's unethical software by your definition.
Do they provide ethical installers?
Most of them don't, but some do. Just like with programs and apps.
They don't provide any, you just download the game itself. Or you can use their Free Software client, which will download and update the games for you.
