I should’ve mentioned I’ve been practically only in IT companies. We never really had speciality software of any kind. In fact I could’ve done all of my work in Linux except for a couple of times where I had to develop in c# and .net wasn’t ported to Linux yet.

But the things I’ve mentioned were what was holding the company back from giving me a Linux machine.

Oh yeah. That’s even worse because sometimes the machines outlive the computers and software and then you’re stuck maintaining a Windows 95 machine because the software was developed for that OS and the company has since came up with new machines with new software and they don’t support your machine anymore.

Depending on the company you work at you can actually still encounter testing equipment built during WW2 because “it still works”

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.
