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.
    •

    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.

    Okay, let's compare KDE and Ubuntu, as I understand it.

    From what you said, the terminal reminds you than a Pro version exist, and that you can buy it. => This is a ads, they try to sell their product to you.

    More question for the Ubuntu parts:

    • How often does this happen ? Just once a year ?

    KDE send a notification once a year to say they need donation, help for translation, coding, writing documentation, and more. => This is not a ads, this is a message to get help and donations, and only once a year.

    If you don't see the big difference between the two things, i don't know how to make it more clear with other words.

    I don't use Ubuntu, and if some parts are wrong, I wait for corrections !

    I guess you could also ask: "Does the pro-tier give one any options/additional functionality that the non-pro/non-donation tier doesn't?"

    Obviously, if you have to pay for additional functionality (like settings/themes/updates) then it isn't a simple ask for donation. Though, I'd argue to ignore trivialities such as "thank you"-emails and possibly a small visual-only token on the program that you paid/donated, as those barely count as "functionality".
