1. Follow the site-wide rules

- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
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.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
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.
5. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache

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.

MODERATORS
There has recently been some spirited debate on here about whether Linux users should be condescending elitists to disgruntled Windows users, I assume thatβs what this refers to.
Just install Linux.
Just eat paste
Damm that's not soft
If we shame the windows refugees they may never convert. Then how can we be condescending elitists about their desktop environments or opinions on systemd?
Xd i saw meme but i dont like that character guy so i didnt read whats there
Linux users should be condescending elitists to disgruntled Windows users
That's not a debate, that's just a fact.
/come at me
That's what I was wondering too.
I have xgrass installed from the x11-apps package.
I find it a suitable replacement and canβt even remember what the original looks like because I removed all the Windows from my house.
I sometimes forget that us Linux users often lack social skills. Understanding other people is hard.
Anyway, I'll try this grass, is it on GitHub?
The drama is so dumb. People who genuinely enjoy their OS and setup don't participate in such pointless conflicts. I might have gone all in on linux since 2019, but I was 100% a windows lover for most of my life.
Just like nature, and touching grass, the world is full of beauty and diversity, so too is the world of technology diverse with solutions, programming languages, libraries, fantastic well-documented software, innovations, and hard-work. I see this pointless squabbling and just see just another conflict not born of the love for technology.
