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!

    Reason for this meme is that some ubisoft titles are shipped with a broken version of ubisoft connect launcher. Installing these games is only possible by running the installer for the launcher again via protontricks.

    How to play Ubisoft games without the Ubisoft Launcher:
    Step 1) If you're an EU citizen, sign this petition: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home
    If you are not in the EU, you can check if there are any other initiatives for your country here: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/
    Step 2) (Due to insurmountable pressure, which you definitely did your part in adding to, video games are now forced to have an end-of-life plan.
    Step 3) Wait until the game you want to play without the Ubi Launcher hits its end-of-life
    Step 4) Do whatever is necessary to get the game playable again, which the newly introduced law guarantees is possible
    Step 5) Enjoy your game without the Ubi launcher
