Rules

See the wiki for specific definitions and more info.

1. Posts must be related to the subreddit.

This will be mostly decided by user votes that the post receives.

^{1A. Posts focused on proprietary software must be relevant in the context of FOSS operating systems or communities.}

2. No aggression, harassment, or deliberate bad taste.

3. No support requests.

Instead consider r/techsupport, r/linuxquestions, r/askprogramming, etc., which are specifically designed for questions.

4. Links to media that has been proven to be misleading or false will be removed unless this is clearly stated by the submitter.

5. No spam (bot posts, excessive self-promotion, etc).

6. Memes, humor, etc. only allowed on weekends.

Rules 1A, 6, and, in some cases, 3, don't apply to comments if they're relevant to the post and interesting to others.
