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!

    THIS oh my god

    And the amount of people that will do ANYTHING to defend Linux baffles me, and they all do it thinking they help Linux in general instead of highlighting their issues so they can be fixed

    I mean, I freaking LOVE linux. And for what it's good for, it's the best of the best. I've never had a better dev experience than in Ubuntu, mostly because WSL is a pale shadow of a good unix backend (and because Macs, while good, are still subpar for that purpose). But that means I'm already committing 40 hours a week to maintaining and using my machine!

    But for gaming? For casual use? I dunno. The hardware has to be hand-picked carefully, as do the games.

    "Trust me guys, it's 95% better with Proton now" lol

    Some of those people need to see all the users asking for help on Linux gaming forums.

    Not trying to dismiss that Linux Gaming has gotten better before Proton but it can be an absolute pain at times.

    Yeah, trust me, Linux Gaming used to be real shit. "When it works it works" is lightyears better than it used to be.

    I remember in my linux-only years, trying to muddle through linux exclusives. Oftentimes you had to be super careful because linux doesn't love prepared binaries
