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.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Because a handful of programs and likely my job will force me to use Windows. I'm interviewing next week for a position where they'll give me "all IT equipment", and there were several technical questions about Windows in a prior interview, so no Linux there.
Still, whenever I can choose to do so, e.g. at home, I pick Linux.
I would straight up refuse job if it forced me to use Windows, however I mostly do server/cloud/dev so it just makes sense.
Considering I have no income right and I've been rejected from ~150 jobs, I need to take what I can get.
Whaaaat? You filthy windows lover.
But seriously though, some people talk here like if folks have a choice.
