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.

    My computer literally killed itself when I tried to run a Wine app and a Steam game at the same time (sh.itjust.works)

    one thing i hate about running games with WINE is that sometimes i switch virtual desktop while playing then the game is unresponsive when i come back

    I've had that on mint but when I switched to arch with Wayland kde it stopped happening. I also had issues where if my display goes to sleep game will freeze.

    I'm using Mint and have no trouble. Switched desktops to play a movie, came back to the game later and it worked fine.

    Interesting. It didn't always do it with switching desktops. Only sometimes but it was guaranteed to happen if my monitor went to sleep

    I had the same issue when using a touchpad (on Wayland) and when I tried wine-staging-9.0-rc4 it worked without any issues anymore. Both using the wayland and x11 graphics backend.

    try running them in gamescope, eliminates a lot of that type of problem
