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.

    Windows and even Mac are clearly superior. As shown in the graph eventhough Linux is getting better it never even got close.

    Windows Vista was better than 8 and 10, a lot of legacy devices in industry kept extended Vista support for years and years.

    Windows 10 is good, so I don't trust the rest of this now.

    Linux isn't an upward curve, either. It mostly is, but those krackle-pops have to put a dent in the curve.

    That's not completely true, in Linux there are many points where old software sucks and new software isn't ready for mass adoption. Like when everyone knew x11 was deprecated but nothing supported Wayland (to this day major WMs like cinnamon and xfce still haven't switched over and most small wms never will). It gets better over time but there are dips in quality and Linux devs do sometimes make mistakes.

    True, Linux is both the best and the worst at the same time.

    The Base OS is great, but the apps are mostly terrible, with a few notable exceptions.

    Win10 was the last good version of Windows.

    [–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

    NT 3.5 was the last good version. Fight me.

    So what you're saying is that there has only ever been one Mac OS and one Linux OS?

    How about adding some distros?
