- 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.

- 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

sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

Whatβs happening on Oct 14?
Windows 10 support ends and many are suggesting that instead of people moving to Windows 11, many will just move over to Linux
Doubt.
Yes, many internet nerds will finally switch to linux. Most normies will just throw millions of computers into the trash and buy win11 approved machines.

yeah i just watched a girl in our class group chat trying to run a windows installer on a mac
things like these remind me why linux won't become popular
well if people stick to the proper linux way of doing things (official software repos) then that's actually closer to what they are used to doing (apple app store) than just randomly downloading installers off the internet
linux should be a relatively easy switch for most people.
I will have to disaggree on that, i can see your point but that is only if they had someone to manage thier system until they get the hang of it, otherwise they will jump back to what they were comfortable using.
Be it mac, windows or a phone
