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.

    I'm running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and finally completely dumped Win10 as it was BSODing itself apart during games anyway.

    Constantly impressed with how many games "just work", and not even just with Steam. Heroic for GoG stuff, Lutris, Bottles for classics I still got on disc...it's awesome!

    But you mentioned Windows Only VR and I got all excited...except I've got a Samsung Odyssey+ (WMR) and realized Monado is the only hope of it not being an expensive blackbox brick. :(

    You're right, it's not "just" Proton. I also tried recently GoG for Pod and... it just worked! From buying the (sigh) Windows game to playing on Linux in literally minutes. Amazing.

    For WMR I don't know unfortunately. Monado does work though and I would check https://lvra.gitlab.io as it's a great starting point, maybe starting with the Monado SteamVR plugin.
