- 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.

- 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
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

At the expense of an exciting new array of problems!
But now they're Linux problems and easier to solve!
I know we're joking about how obnoxious we are when we make this recommendation... But it's also true. Linux problems are much more likely to be solveable. The proprietary "no serviceable parts within" boxes are much rarer.
It's a bit of both. I agreeey that Linux problems are actually solvable, but we're also willing to put up with a lot more because of that. (Admittedly, Window's enshitification is helping with the last part)
Yeah, the frequency of bullshit problems and just having to accept losing features and gaining advertisements has reached a point of absolute absurdity, it almost feels intentional at this point like they're trying to see how far they can push people before they'll leave
