Honestly, if you:

  • don’t care about data getting collected on an os you paid for
  • don’t care about getting ads on an os you paid for
  • don’t care about performance and have a fast computer
  • (*) can’t bother re-leaning how to do some things
  • (*) can’t bother facing and debugging some problems that you might encounter
  • (*) don’t care about being able to do things faster, at the cost of knowing exactly where to find things the moment you start using the system
  • don’t care about being able to customize any part of the system however you want

then you might want to stay on Windows.

(*) this depends on which distribution you choose. some are very similar to windows and beginner friendly.

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!
