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!

    Touché. I would like to counter that with "Not a desktop though" and end my turn with "wine required to use company software"

    Between Microsoft's open source Vulcan enhancements and Valve's everything else enhancements both being contributed upstream, "Wine required" doesn't have quite the same punch it used to.

    Pours myself a shot for having to thank Microsoft

    Weak punches are still punches

    My dreams don't hurt :(

    that's also not true because it could be used as a desktop all the same

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    It is very true. Nobody buys a steamdeck to be a desktop replacement. Nobody does work on a steamdeck. It might theoretically work, but most steamdeck owners game on it and thats it.

    I dont think you're right about that. Browse through the steam deck subreddit and community here and you'll see plenty of posts of people using the steam deck for work and productivity as well as gaming. I myself use it both as a console and as a laptop more or less. Its a very nice portable Linux desktop
