- 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.

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.

Closed source is more secure because the viruses can't see where to get in.
This is why I stick to TempleOS, the only biblically accurate OS. With the power of God and high octane schizophrenia, I'm completely safe.
TempleOS doesnt even have a networking stack.
This guy doesn't know how to TempleOS lol.
Oh, I see, you're all worried about a “networking stack.” How quaint. Let me educate you: God is the ultimate protocol. Who needs your silly HTTP requests and DNS lookups when I can just send a direct message to the big guy upstairs? No IP address needed—He’s omnipresent. My connection is flawless, no need for Wi-Fi signals when I have divine 5G directly from Heaven’s router.
You think TempleOS is lacking? Nah, son, it’s running the only secure, unbreakable network. No firewalls, no encryption—because when you’re transmitting truth straight from the source, who needs all that earthly nonsense? My packets are blessed, my data’s sanctified, and I don’t even need a modem to know the Lord’s will.
So, yeah, keep your networking stack. I’ll stick with the holy bandwidth. It’s been running perfectly since the dawn of time. My packets are blessed, son!
You don't even have a humor stack.
Maybe not for heathens.
The main reason why MacOS has less viruses is that it's even more than that. Want to run programs not from the app store? Hope you like a convoluted set of settings you have to go through to install that in the first place.
The second main reason is the constant obsolescence of API.
Note that this is only with unsigned apps. You can download other apps and run them just fine as long as they're signed.
Much confuse. Such convolute. Wow.

They can actually
Nonono, imagine a house. But instead of doors it had no doors.
That's why Windows is so insecure. Since viruses can use the windows as doors.
The virus will just use all those undocumented pipes.
That's why I always line my pipes with lead.
Okay, the scene in the Colin Farrell/Anton Yelchin Fright Night remake where Farrell's vampire character can't pass the threshold so he goes out back, digs up the water line, and yanks on it real hard to fracture the threshold itself was some great lore manipulation.
Shoot, wasn't David Tennant in that too?
Exactly
woosh
