I think without that rule this would become a pcmasterace-with-socks community…
On the other hand close enough pictures, would enrich the community…

I do think it’s a tad pedantic to enforce a *nix OSs only sort of rule, I think the general interest for tech/computers should be on display period, and trying to draw lines on how that can be shown based on the OS of all things does feel a bit off. It is not in everyone’s best interest or desire to run a Unix-based OS and I don’t think that should immediately bar people from posting here.
Now I am certainly new here and I’m sure people will disagree with me but this is just my 2 cents

yeah, that’s kinda where I’m at with it too, I don’t think people should be immediately banished because they chose to put say windows 7 on an old thinkpad instead of linux and take a pic with that

I tend to agree with you, the only thing I would like to add is that Windows and others os’es have plenty of spaces for them on the internet already, and having a space primarily for nerdy Linux like os’es is a good thing, but I don’t think we need to be exclusionary, just protective of the ideas and vibes of the community.
