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.

    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 started to get better 5 years ago. These days it's at least 60-70% where Windows is with respect to gaming. According to protondb.com, 78% of the top 100 steam games (and 75% of the top 1000) are directly playable on linux with no or very little tweaking required.

    Actually except for one eac game (Hunt) I don't have to switch anymore.

    Stellaris, Zomboid, Splitgate, ...

    Though getting the best "quality" for some of the games was challenging (struggling with differing monitor Hz on X11 and nvidia)

    Hunt is why I'm still rocking windows too 😭

    Well that, and some work stuff that doesn't work on Linux, bleh

    Hunt runs on Linux! I play it on Linux with my Windows friends. Some people even see improved framerates, lol. They flipped the "enable EAC for Linux" switch on steam earlier in the year.

    I don't know about you, but while I think its an amazing game (art, idea), the current state is not. It just feels like crytek is milking it and some big upgrade to the engine is long overdue.

    So, I don't really have to switch too often, only if we get full lobby with friends.
