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!

    I only switched this week, and I kinda disagree with the meme.

    It's both.

    I'm only dual booting because I'm a gamer and some games only run on Windows.

    some ~~games ~~only run on Windows.

    some app only runs on wondows

    Yep, I know. I have to log into Windows to manage the files on my Huawei tablet.

    That's okay. I can do 99% of what I want on Linux without Microsoft snooping on me.

    I wonder if you could ssh into it. My charging port broke on my last phone and was able to pull all my files off of it via ssh

    Shouldn't your huawei tablet support mtp just fine though?

    I had that attitude for a while too. Eventually you realise that having to reboot your system for a handful of games isn't worth it. Nowadays I just don't buy games that don't run on Linux.

    Eventually we will reach a critical mass where game developers will actively develop for Linux, rather than being reliant on compatibility layers.

    Yeah, about half of my library already runs on Linux.

    The problem I have now is that, soon, I'm gonna want to do a reinstall so Linux can have more disk space. :) My PC's pretty fast, so the reboot doesn't really bug me all that much.
