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 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 will not be tolerated.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.
    •  

    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.

    What if... You trolled someone by installing Linux, but with a GUI that 100% mimics Windows? πŸ€”

    Actually, fuck trolling. I want this. Gimme the OG Windows 95 GUI for KDE/Gnome.

    [–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Apparently, many people want to make Linux look like Windows 95?

    [–] mittorn@masturbated.one 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    @pinball_wizard @Kolanaki why not just install tde? It may look like classic windows, but better

    [–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

    I had not heard of Trinity Desktop. That does look like a much simpler path to beautiful Windows XP stylings.

    there are KDE mods that makes it look and feel exactly like windows 10. ill post if i find it again.

    You mean ReactOS?

    [–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    ReactOS isn't Linux. It's an open source reimplementation of win32.

    [–] BaumGeist@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

    I'll be damned, I did not realize. I'd heard of it and filed it away as an odd bit of trivia, but checking just now it is indeed its own kernel.

    Thanks for the fact check!
