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!

    Some games proton might not be enabled by default - on Linux go into the steam game settings for the game you want, click the compatibility page, and check the box "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool", select the version - if one doesn't work, try another - proton 8 is a good start, proton experimental is usually a good second option. Wait for steam to download proton if it hasn't already, and the game should now play like normal

    Note: some games might require additional configuration, or custom versions of proton to work. Other games won't work due to anticheat.

    https://www.ProtonDB.com is a good option to check on games and see how to get the more complicated ones running.

    https://Areweanticheatyet.com is a good way to see what games that have anticheat will work and what won't work.

    For non steam games running proton try installing the heroic games launcher - it's like a combined launcher for Epic, Gog and Amazon Games.
