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!

    They actually heavily target Developers with MacBook Pro, they even have a whole conference every year dedicated to developers.

    Also I think fighting with macOS is the problem, there are a few walled off things however it's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

    I don't mean this in an accusatory way, but did you create your account just to talk up macs? I know some people really love them, but plenty of people have serious issues with Apple's entire philosophy. The "our way or the highway" idea is great if you want to do everything their way but when that way doesn't work for what you want to do then that's what rubs people the wrong way.

    No obviously not, I use Linux as well. I just think it's bad to say something is awful especially when the given examples for the most part were untrue or easily solved.

    Yeah Apple has a bit of a "this is the only way" however it does make for a very stable system. Also if their way isn't right for you that's fine, no reason to complain just don't use it.

    You can't always just not use it, a lot of people get given macs as work machines. And having had macos updates break software compatibility multiple times I would not say "a very stable system"!
