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!

    Looks like they got their priorities right

    We shall not stop until all the sources have been opened!

    Open code? Is this terminology used often?

    coding in windows is hard :C it keeps crashing my code! I can't open my code either, I may learn how to code in Linux soon if it is easy

    What are you having issues with? What language are you trying to use?

    I double-checked the meme and realized the wording is actually correct, I thought the meme regarded linux as a lanuage for a sec- sleep well everyone

    Honest Question with a long windup: I'm not looking forward to the forced Win11 update, tried Win11 and would rather keep 10...

    If I made the swap to Linux, what happens to my Steam Library? Don't many of those games need Windows to run? I have a SteamDeck and understand Valve has created their own thing to fool games into thinking their played on Windows, but that's just SteamOS for a handheld. Sorry, I know I can look up this information online, I would like to hear it from someone personally rather than some blog or website article.

    Idk about Linux, but on Mac I can run most Windows games through Wine no problem. IIRC Linux has Proton, which is a better version of Wine that's built into Steam so you can launch Windows games directly from your native Linux Steam client. Unless you play a lot of AAA games I'd suggest giving it a go.

    It won't give you any extra performance in games, you'll be using a Windows emulator to emulate Windows games in Linux. In the end, if you don't have enough time for troubleshooting (which will take a lot of time), it's not worth it. As others have said, "Linux is free if your time is free".

    I beg to differ, I got 5 different games on the summer sale, and all I had to do was install and hit the play button. Proton had come along in a huge way the past few years, especially with the advent of the steam deck
