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.

    Just because a fool tells it, doesn't make it a foolish statement.

    I have been using Linux since 1993. Maybe it is time to move on.

    X was already a thing in Linux before Elon had a dream.

    I mean I wouldn't mind if he bought a bunch of computer manufacturers and made them switch to Linux. Would be a better use of his money than whatever he's doing with it now.

    This thread is focusing on whether he's right, even while being a shithead. The problem IMO is not whether he's right or not, it's what his 'plans' are if the world moves in the direction he starts nudging. Guy's a psycho edgelord pro-fascist with Bond villain tendencies, but he's surfed on trends to carve monopolies before... Idk

    I hope now all those Tesla / Musk sycophants and influencers will start touting Linux as the "big new thing" Elon has invented. /s

    Even the most garbage subhuman person in the wold can sometimes make a good point

    As much as we may hate it

    Please tell me that’s not real. I don’t want him being a Linux fan boy. That would ruin the Linux community.
