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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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.

    There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time. (lemmy.world)

    I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

    True I just moved my gaming PC to Linux and wow!! Almost all of my games run on Linux. Thank you for everyone working so hard.

    This is the main reason, other than gog's lack of support, for not going full Linux.

    [–] julianh@lemm.ee 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    You can use a launcher like Heroic to play games you have on gog or epic.

    [–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

    Also Lutris. I haven't actually tried Heroic so I don't know how they compare, but Lutris is a pretty good launcher.

    [–] rikudou@lemmings.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I buy mostly GOG games (like 90%) and with Heroic it's quite easy.

    [–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    But it's not as good as simply using steam

    [–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 2 years ago

    Nope, not yet. But it's getting there. And at least for me it's worth it.

    [–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Also thank Valve and buy a Valve game.

    [–] hperrin@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Or a Steam Deck. :)

    Honestly, if you have the extra money, buy it. It's just a great device.
