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.
  • ย

    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.

    A lot of people choose the steam deck over it's windows competitors, and mostly because the software experience is better on the deck vs. Windows.

    I have a Deck and a ROG Ally. Windows on the Ally sucks, and I'm going to return it. The hardware is generally pretty good other than the SD card slot issue, but the software being constantly broken ruins the whole thing.

    You can put SteamOS on other systems now

    It's not the same, and the lack of touchpads is really limiting. Even on windows, touchpads on the ROG Ally would go a long way to making the OS usable.
