Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

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!

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.

One thing that no one can argue is better on windows is app updates.

On Linux, my apps update through the app store or a terminal command.

On Windows, the app has to create its own auto-updater that usually means it bugs you for permission (sometimes if it's something like Adobe or Office it'll keep an update-checker service running!). Otherwise your app is just stagnant forever.

It's not impossible for Windows to fix, there's chocolatey and winget but they're always going to be a niche alternative to the shitty systems Windows gives by default.

If I had seen this type of content when I was discovering Linux, I'd have probably stayed with Windows...

Yeah at least back in the old days the ones frothing at the mouth about Linux...you had to seek them out on irc or weird forums. Now the doge memes come to me.

I've been using Linux for only about 6 years. I was just lucky to never get exposed to the unofficial Linux sales group.
