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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    is there an installer edition that doesn't put you through the questionnaire for what level of bullshit they can trick you in to accepting?

    Are you sure you're sure that your sure that you definitely aren't unsure about making an online account? Well here's the form for it anyway because you didn't remove all your network devices and use an edited install iso. And while we're at it, here's copilot, and a trial for office that you get billed for if you forget, and all your stuff is on onedrive securely stored for the safe perusal of relevant parties. Now please wait while we get things ready for you. You might think this unexplained loading screen is longer than the full time it takes to install most linux distros but we assure you important computery stuff is happening.

    Of course there is. Windows gets used in professional settings.

    You can setup a Windows Deployment Service where you can deploy Windows from a network boot with all the settings already incorporated.

    The only thing you need to do is boot the computer from network and let it do its thing.

    Afterwards you have a complete working setup with all the correct settings and updates and software already installed. With literally 1 minute of work.
