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.

    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.

    And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me (sh.itjust.works)

    There are three things holding me back from making the switch full time, I use a stream deck from Elgato for automating a lot of tasks, I stream VR titles from Steam, and I have an Nvidia graphics card.

    Thank you for giving me 3 huge reasons not to switch, cause I've been a bit tempted lately.

    I switched to Pop_OS and it's honestly been great even with an Nvidia card. Haven't found a game that it won't run, only thing I'm missing is lack of gsync/HDR support

    I can't give up my Stream Deck plugins. I don't trust that that Linux port thing supports all the plugins I use.

    Have you tried Boatswain for your Stream Deck?

    [–] Hyrulian 2 points 9 months ago

    This looks really fascinating. Looks like this may have some more features that I need for my Stream Deck compared to other ones for it on Linux. Might have to hope on a Live USB and check it out. Thanks for sharing!!

    Maybe this can help you out?

    I did take a look at that once before and it didn't quite have all the features that I use daily on my Stream Deck, but thanks for linking to it! Maybe I should take a look again since it's been a year or so.

    You can use VFIO to pass your GPU through to a Windows VM in order to play VR titles. I did this and it worked fine. I block all network access from Windows and then whitelist networks required for gaming.

    I'm going to look into this myself. Been using Ubuntu for a about 6 months but also want to mess around more with VMs
