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!

    Needing to use command line for some things that should be a right click, not supporting right click

    You can do nearly everything you need to via the GUI on the major distros (the ones that most people would use). There's plenty of things on Windows you must use the command-line for.

    And anytime you need to use the Run dialogue it's the same argument. It's the same "issue" of having to type instead of using your mouse.

    And if you don't need to use the command-line on Windows, it's the registry. The awful, terrible, horrible, disgusting registry.

    I'm not actually sure what on earth you mean with "not supporting right click". Maybe you're thinking of older Mac versions?

    it's just not a great general purpose desktop for the average user,

    It has been for a while now.
