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

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.

Aaaaannddd again.
Install Linux, drop any and all Microsoft software, you don't need it
Fuck everything about Microsoft
And lately I'd like to add Google yo this too, but at least google has working and dependable products
This is a bit unrealistic. Games may work better than they did in the past, but performance isn't 1:1 yet. More importantly, device drivers can be a lot more dicey.
Personally, the main thing keeping me from actually using my Linux partition most of the time is that my mouse buttons can't be properly rebound. Yeah, I could find some janky work-around, but that would be eating into my workflow.
I also do, in fact, need Windows for development.
GNU is great, but pretending it's a viable Windows replacement for every use case is just disingenuous. It doesn't help anyone and it only makes GNU supporters seem that much more out of touch with the average user's experience.
There are literally people who will think the internet is broken if they accidentally delete their browser shortcut or just straight up can't find it in the sea of icons on their desktop. These are the users that Windows is protecting from themselves. The same users probably wouldn't be able to figure out how to use the command line if their life depended on it.
There's a place for Windows, and there's a place for GNU. I'd love to see the place for GNU expand and the place for Windows shrink, but that doesn't make it so.

Out of curiosity what kind of development do you do.
Also yeah, mice, especially mmo mice can be especially dicey on Linux when it comes to being able to rebind them. I think the only mmo mouse I can reliably rebind is the Corsair scimitar with ckb next...
The other thing to keep in mind, especially with gaming, modding, specifically Bethesda games is particularly annoying, I mean it's possible with wine, but things like mod organizer are nowhere near as easy to get working. Without modding however most things work most of the time.
