Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    do you rent out your computer to other people? I think you'll live tbh.

    They are not created by people. They are created by programs.

    what kind of programs are you using that use case in filenames. Smells like a skill issue to me.

    Iirc Ubuntu names their home files "Downloads", "Documents", and so on. Same with windows (there are a lot of uppercase letters in windows files). I've had issues with Cargo.toml before. And not just cargo, many config files use case to signal priority (so if both Makefile and makefile exist, Makefile will be used (or other way around)). Downloaded files are a gamble. Files created by user input (so for example if I wanted my user to be "Calcopiritus", my home would be "/home/Calcopiritus".

    Uppercase letters might not be common in filenames, but they are not nonexistent.

    by default sure, aren't these just like, XDG specifications or something? Surely you can just change them.

    Case in config files is certainly interesting, not sure how i feel about that as a standard.

    Downloaded files are a gamble, but they're always a gamble, they might not even be in english lol
