1. Follow the site-wide rules

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.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I actually don't tell people about it unless they ask for some reason or it comes up. Which as you can imagine rarely happens.

    Funny side effect is I had many people use my PC quickly for things. Noone ever comments on things looking different. Do they not notice? Do they not care? I don't know. Maybe it's so superior it's beyond their comprehension.

    I worked doing support for public highschools. I remember when the government changed everything to Ubuntu to cut costs. Some didn't like it but I had some to say to me "hey this windows version is better" 🀣

    If you have a standard looking desktop and use a common web browser it's not going to matter to 99% of users.

    As someone who's not using qwerty, this never happens to me (regardless of OS) - people take one look at my keyboard and then go find their own computer. Which I count as a win-win.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    Same - though my keycaps are still qwerty at first glance, people usually don't get much further than a few keystrokes into a Google search before they decide not to bother!

    It looks very unstandard. Highly customized KDE that clearly isn't windows or MacOS. But probably just doesn't matter to most people. Is Firefox a common Webbrowser anymore?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Firefox is still common enough and the icon is recognizable because of how popular it was back in the day. No shade, but how customers are we talking? Does it have a desktop with icons or are they having to search for it?

    As a side note, Fry, I love you more than the moon, the stars, the...POETIC IMAGE #36 NOT FOUND

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    They have either search for it using the windows key or find the auto hiding Taskbar to the right and recognize the custom icon for Firefox. Both sometimes works and sometimes they ask.

    When I first started using it, I definitely had the urge to tell people I know about it. The more I think about it, I tend to do that with anything I find that is a significant improvement, at least in my eyes, from whatever I used before.

    that last comment there had me quickly exhale out of my nose

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    I use Arch BTW (sorry I use Ubuntu πŸ˜”)

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    Yeah but it felt good, didn't it?

    I use Arch, btw.

    This power can be yours, comrade.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    is it possible to learn this power?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

    Not from Canonical.

    Gnu Linux does have an actual lengthy license agreement.

    It's that license agreement that keeps it free and open and also ensures that people can't just steal it, claim it as their own, and then open legal disputes against anyone who who tries to use it them selves (among other legal things in sure).

    Nice! I recommend you watch DistroTube, he's really good at teaching how to use a lot of linux tools. https://www.youtube.com/@DistroTube

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

    I mean, well yeah. Right?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
