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!

    When such day comes, I hope ~~prolitariat~~ gamers will unite and push back against kernel-level bullshit

    I think a lot of people will have a bad day. Some will swear off PC gaming altogether and switch to console, others might look towards Linux thanks to a friend or a helpful individual online, and a small minority will understand the problem and actively avoid the companies that caused the problem.

    It probably won't affect sales of the company involved too much sadly unless everyone point their fingers at the company in the news.

    When the gamers rose up they elected Trump, I wouldn't hold out hopes for anti-capitalist action.

    I doubt that gamers rising up and voting for Trump. Unless US political system is SO fucked. In EU upset gamers are most likely to vote for Pirate Party.
