  • 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!

    In my experience, gaming on linux has been better than on windows

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    Actually. I recently started using Linux for the first time, I play a wide variety of games and my laptop I was trying it on, 1 game didn't work on Linux that (barely, buggy as hell and abandoned by devs) worked on Windows, but 2 other games that didn't run smooth enough on Windows to be playable, ran fine on Linux, all the others were about the same. Gaming experience has far far exceeded my expectations going in and expecting lots of headaches and issues.

    It‘s really sooo much better. But it lacks in one area: PCVR. SteamVR for Linux feels a bit more janky, but that’s not really the main issue.

    The issue is that, to stream from PC to the quest line of devices, you need oculus’s software, which only runs on windows.

    ALVR exists, but its compression and latency are considerably worse in my experience.

    So I have a small separate SSD for windows :(
