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.

    Look man. I use my computer primarily for gaming, with a little web browsing. The second Linux can support all games without me having to wrangle and worry about compatibility, plus whatever else config shit I have to go through that I'm sure I'm unaware of, I'll jump ship headfirst. I'm fucking sick of Microsoft's bullshit.

    Linux supports most games nowadays. It will never support "all" games. Just like windows doesn't support all games. At this point in time, saying Linux is not good enough with gaming is weird..

    At this point games that doesn't support Linux are games that use anti-cheat

    Right, BattleEye is hit or miss depending on the game developer.

    Another significant drawback I have is OBS compatibility. It technically works, but just having it open drops my framerate by ~30%, and having it record drops it by ~50%. I haven't found a fix for it yet, so I'm effectively unable to stream or record gameplay on Linux. The same settings used in Windows hardly impacts my framerate.

    I'll continue using Linux, but I haven't deleted my Windows partition yet.
