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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    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 remove France.

    In my experience, gaming on linux has been better than on windows

    [–] Mister_Rogers@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

    Actually. I recently started using Linux for the first time, I play a wide variety of games and my laptop I was trying it on, 1 game didn't work on Linux that (barely, buggy as hell and abandoned by devs) worked on Windows, but 2 other games that didn't run smooth enough on Windows to be playable, ran fine on Linux, all the others were about the same. Gaming experience has far far exceeded my expectations going in and expecting lots of headaches and issues.

    It‘s really sooo much better. But it lacks in one area: PCVR. SteamVR for Linux feels a bit more janky, but that’s not really the main issue.

    The issue is that, to stream from PC to the quest line of devices, you need oculus’s software, which only runs on windows.

    ALVR exists, but its compression and latency are considerably worse in my experience.

    So I have a small separate SSD for windows :(
