These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to your use of linuxcapable.com (“LinuxCapable,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Site”). LinuxCapable is operated from Western Australia and publishes free technical guides, tutorials, and reference material for Linux users.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to any policies linked from them, including our Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and Comments Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
2. What LinuxCapable Provides
The Site provides general educational information about Linux systems, software, commands, and related technical topics. The content is not personalized IT support, professional consulting, managed system administration, legal advice, or security advice for your specific environment.
We work to keep guides accurate and current, but software, repositories, package names, and upstream documentation can change. You are responsible for deciding whether a command, configuration, or recommendation is suitable for your own system before using it.
The Editorial Policy explains how LinuxCapable chooses topics, tests guides, reviews corrections, and handles AI-assisted work.
2.1 Your Responsibility
Back up important data, review commands before running them, and use extra care on production systems or systems that contain sensitive information. You use the Site and any instructions, commands, scripts, examples, or downloads referenced by the Site at your own risk.
3. Acceptable Use
You must not use the Site in a way that is unlawful, abusive, misleading, or harmful. In particular, you must not:
- Attempt to disrupt, overload, scan, exploit, or gain unauthorized access to the Site, its hosting, or related systems.
- Use comments, contact forms, or email addresses from the Site for spam, advertising pitches, scraping, phishing, malware, or unrelated commercial outreach.
- Copy, scrape, republish, or redistribute Site content in a way that violates these Terms or applicable law.
- Post or submit material that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, malicious, misleading, or infringes another person’s rights.
4. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, LinuxCapable owns or controls the text, screenshots, images, formatting, article structure, and other original content published on the Site. The Site name, layout, and original editorial material are protected by copyright and other applicable laws.
4.1 Limited Permission for Commands and Code Examples
You may use commands, short configuration examples, and code snippets from tutorials for personal, non-commercial educational use, including testing them on your own systems. Please credit LinuxCapable when you share a command sequence or example that was clearly taken from the Site.
This limited permission does not allow you to republish full articles, copy substantial narrative text, reproduce screenshots or images, create competing mirrors, bulk-scrape the Site, or use the content to train, populate, or operate another publication or automated content system without written permission.
4.2 Linking to LinuxCapable
You may link to LinuxCapable pages using ordinary links and brief descriptions. Do not frame the Site, misrepresent your relationship with LinuxCapable, or imply endorsement where none exists.
5. Comments and Submitted Content
If you post a comment or send content through the contact form, you are responsible for what you submit. You retain ownership of your own submission, but you give LinuxCapable permission to display, moderate, edit for clarity, remove, and respond to it as needed to operate the Site.
Comments are also governed by the Comments Policy. We may remove comments or block submissions that are spam, abusive, unsafe, off topic, or otherwise inconsistent with these Terms.
6. Copyright Complaints
If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, contact contact@linuxcapable.com with the URL of the material, a description of the work you believe has been infringed, your contact details, and enough information for us to assess the claim.
LinuxCapable is operated from Australia and will review copyright complaints under applicable Australian law, including the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), and any other law that applies to the specific claim.
7. Third-Party Links and Advertising
The Site links to third-party websites, software projects, documentation, package repositories, and other resources. These links are provided for convenience and technical context. We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, policies, software, or security.
LinuxCapable is funded through advertising served by Nitro (Nitropay), operated by Overwolf Ltd. Advertising and related privacy choices are explained in our Privacy Policy.
8. Privacy
Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how information is collected, used, shared, retained, and protected. The Privacy Policy also explains advertising consent choices and rights that may apply in Australia, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other jurisdictions.
9. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from harmful components. We also do not guarantee that any guide, command, package, repository, version, link, or technical explanation will remain accurate after publication.
The Site may include command examples that modify packages, configuration files, services, permissions, network exposure, or system behavior. You are responsible for checking the commands, understanding their effect, and deciding whether they fit your system.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LinuxCapable is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary loss or damage arising from your use of the Site. This includes loss of data, system damage, service interruption, lost revenue, security incidents, or reliance on content that later becomes outdated or inaccurate.
