- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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.

I honestly agree, the only exception is the steam deck. I don't know how, but that thing runs games really smooth. I really want CoD, BF2042 and R6S to support Linux, these games are stopping me from daily driving linux.
Yeah, I imagine that’s helped by Valve working hard to get games running on a device they have a lot of control over, making it easier to fix/optimise games.
Gaming on Linux will obviously continue to improve, but I think it will always be playing catch up and I don’t see most game devs bothering to support it, unfortunately.
@li10
I think devs have an incentive to support it as it gains marketshare.
Easy anticheat for example didn't support #wine until after the steam deck came out
I don’t think it’s going to gain any significant market share though, or at least not until games start supporting it.
Bit of a chicken and egg situation.
@li10
Very true.
Although like I said EAC was one of the big holdouts preventing a lot of games.
