2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- 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.
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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
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 remove France.

Am I on Slashdot in 2004?
No shade. I respect my Linux brethren. I'm on MacOS, but CLI junkies should unite and drink beers. Or smoke trees. Or whatever. The point is that I love you all. But no Windows peeps.
I never liked the CLI, which is probably why I couldn't switch to MacOS after using Linux. My god is MacOS UI "weak" on customization for power users
2023 was the year of the Linux desktop.
- Got Discord and Zoom off the store
- Zoom screen and webcam sharing just worked
- Was able to even switch Bluetooth profile through GUI
- Essentially any game that didn't use a kernel level spyware works
- Chromebook hardware in the $500 range is pretty good
- Must software is web based.
I recommend OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Install once, update weekly or biweekly. (It's a rolling release, so it doesn't have major upgrades like Windows 10 to 11 does.) About a month ago I did an upgrade on my old laptop. Handled 2 years of updates flawlessly.

If profit and growth continue to be above all else, I don't see why it wouldn't gain a decent market share in the next couple of decades.
On the other hand, the Unix model of selling hardware to help pay for software development might breed a more competitive hardware space if there is a big enough user base.
I feel this is now being driven by the decline of desktops in general.
Every now and again I meet someone who somehow gets through life without a desktop.
I can understand someone who owns a Mac/Windows PC just binning it out of frustration and not buying another one. They are just life-sucking levels of horror at this point.
Tablets cover >90% of the regular person's usecase, anyway, nowadays.
It's been years since I owned a tablet. I felt that they were redundant because I have a phone and a desktop and a laptop and a Chromebook.
Yes, in that case, it really is. But if you have both a phone and a tablet with a keyboard, any kind of PC might be redundant, if you don't do any specialized task like coding/video/gaming/photography,...
fuck even some photographers ik don't even have a damn computer just an ipad
