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!

    That's what i meant with it being unobtrusive. The Mac really doesn't stand in your way, when, for example, you want/need to have another git version. Since in Linux i tend to use the terminal for most crucial tasks and important system changes, i was pleased to find out that you can do that on the Mac the same way, natively. OSX is like just an overlay, a desktop UI, like KDE or gnome. I can also open up a terminal and interact the same way with the system, like I'm used to, when on Linux.

    On Windows, i always got my work done, but sometimes it took me more time to set up things, just to be able to work, than it took to get the work done.

    Edit: in my eyes, the Mac is just the odd kind of Linux distribution: expensive proprietary software AND hardware. But it runs a kernel inside, it's all Unix.
