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.
  • 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. 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.
  • 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.

    I wanted to use the current Windows logo, but it's so incredibly stupid, you wouldn't even recognize it.

    This is what happens when a $100 bn profit/year company is too cheap to hire artists:

    TIL windows 1 logo was the best logo

    [–] Thunderbird4@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

    It does kinda look like a cafeteria tray, though.

    Srsly wtf I saw that and immediately thought "Well that would be a great modern logo" its flat and sleek but still recognizable enough. Guess the marketing department didn't want to admit "we got it right the first time"

    Even seems to suggest use of a tiling window manager that MS still hasn't properly implemented.

    Yeah that logo is better than the modern logos by far

    It's just the blue screen of death now. Apt.

    [–] Auster@thebrainbin.org 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

    I think it's a projection joke. Win12 isn't even released yet.

    [–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 1 points 58 minutes ago

    12? Even 11 isn't out yet. Or at least I haven't heard.

    Window~~s~~ 12

    [–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

    You think they didn't pay marketing consultants millions for that logo?
