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!

    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.

    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
