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.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- 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.

Yep, but if you complain and try NOTHING else what do you expect people to answer with?
If i answer with "try linux" i do it for helping you, also, you can ignore my reply too and go on, sometimes i even get insults or mockery for answering questions about Linux, i don't get why people need to be rude about this.
Sorry for the rant
People are lazy. They don't want to put in any effort at all. They just go "well I have nothing to hide any way" or they get mad at the person calling out their laziness. Happens all the time. People get mad at vegans, Greta Thunberg, Cyclists, Linux Users, etc.
If you only count "installing Linux" as trying something, then maybe don't comment anything on the thread because it isn't for you.
I never said that i count only Linux genius.
If he also tried BSD, BSD derivates, or other OSes then maybe they have to try more or idk
Maybe they want to try TempleOS XD
It's often literally the only solution to the thing the person is complaining about
