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 can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

    Yes, those are all things you've done now that you've set up your windows machine. Those are all steps you took to make life easier, what I'm saying is that requiring those steps makes Windows nothing like my steam deck.

    I literally powered it on the first time I got it, installed a game, and played. I can't say that about a windows machine, ever.

    These are things for any OS though. I mean, on XFCE I spend time setting up my preferred shortcuts, software, tools, etc.

    On Mac, install rectangle, shortcuts, debloat. There’s no perfect default for everyone.

    The Steam deck is a special case because it’s literally a gaming handheld (though the term handheld for that thing is admittedly loose).

    And there’s still some things even with the deck. Did you set up emudeck? Heroic launcher? Configure it for desktop mode?
