Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Yeah, enjoy that... I've tried it enough times to find the process cumbersome and full of troubleshooting. In the right state of mind I enjoy that, but I could never straight up ditch windows as someone who games often. Sometimes you just want to download a new game and play it.

    Linux will get there, if things keep going that direction. It's not there yet, though.

    I've played games on my Linux desktop without so much as even needing to care it's running on Linux via Steam and Proton for years now, and it's only getting better. Basically the only games I've seen not work are the ones with kernel level ~~rootkit~~ anti cheat really.

    But... that's part of the joy 🤨...

    Who said you have to ditch Windows 🤨. I mostly use Wine so I don't have to restart and boot into Windows or fire up a VM. It's just simpler.
