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.

- 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, 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 fork-bomb your computer.

If that picture was of a Windows installation, Windows would be a Sumo Wrestler instead of a kitten.
I have a laptop that windows is frozen on and won't load. How to I install Linux on the laptop? Anyway to wipe hard drive without loading windows?
Boot the laptop from a USB memory stick that has a Linux installer on it.
Okay I try that. Where do I find Linux to download?
Linux mint is the most agreed upon dstro for newbies. You can find it in here: https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=311
You can follow the official guide to help with installation: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/burn.html
There are also a lot of tutorials online, and if needed, you can come to the linux communities on lemmy for help
Thank you so much. Truly appreciate this information.
