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!

    Do you think using a steam deck counts? On one hand it is Linux, but on the other hand the default experience is more of a console than a PC.

    If you ever go into the desktop to do anything at all I'd say you're getting the Arch Linux experience.

    If you stick to Steam games and skip everything else then no, it doesn’t.

    This kind of gatekeeping is what scares people off.

    [–] MadhuGururajan@programming.dev 4 points 9 months ago

    Its not gatekeeping when if you don't use the underlying Arch system you're not getting the same experience as "using linux".

    Scares off from what exactly? They’re using some gaming system and don’t care about what’s running under the hood. They may be perfectly unaware that it’s Linux or what exactly it is and why should they even care.
