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!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I quit using Arch after about ten years of using it because Team Fortress 2 quit working and none of the resolutions on protondb fixed my issue.

    Priorities, people.

    The 32bit libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 that all Source 1 games ship with needs to be updated. You can symlink it to your system's version to get TF2 running again. It's usually only a matter of time before it starts to effect more downstream distros.

    The other problem I have with TF2 is queueing for casual just stops for no discernable reason or error every time, even if I'm not the party host. But then I come back later and it works again? Only real solution I've found is to have my friends queue without me and then join after they've found a match.

    See, I did all that... and then audio broke. So, I couldn't anymore, man. I probably could've copied the install, kept it updated and held it for a resolution but I just don't demand that much from my builds anymore really. I went with Mint with XFCE and haven't had a single issue since install. I'm good. If it comes down to Ubuntu's base, a lot more eyes will be on the problem and I'll sort it out then.
