    electricity (optional)

    I don’t think that anyone’s yet booted a Linux kernel on a purely-mechanical computer yet.

      If you make a redstone PC and don’t consider the requirements to run Minecraft… Probably (in-world it wouldn’t be using electricity)

      Technically possible. How large would such a machine be though…

        It wouldn’t need to be super large necessarily. It could just be very very slow.

        Theoretically, an immortal person with many many stones that follows instructions very clearly could “emulate” (be) a computer, right?

        Since you need 16 billion crabs to run Doom, I suspect easier than you think

      Maybe Linux is the first to run on optical processors?

  • 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.
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.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We 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.

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.
