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.
  •

    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.

    Steam is a proprietary app store shipping DRM and proprietary software. I can't say I'm eager to use it

    If we are being fair, they are still reasonably fair to users. Open source gaming is not a reality.

    They don't force you to use Steam, but still work on Proton as Open Source. They don't lock down their hardware.

    What I'm trying to say is, while Valve is not perfect, it's much better than any big tech alternative.

    Open Source gaming is pretty much there with proton we have a BSD-3-clause (Open Source) software.

    Let us see if we can have a free software gaming platform in the future.
