Community rules (click to expand)

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.
    •  

    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.

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

    is there anything to allow you to play EAC games?

    Steam has EAC available under Linux, you just install it just like it is its own game.

    The developer has to specifically allow it though. Epic themselves don't let EAC for Fortnite run on Linux because they don't trust it as much as the rootkit version that only runs Windows.

    True. But then that becomes a vendor problem, and not a Linux problem.

    My point is that Linux went from 0% support for any game that uses EAS, to 100% support for any game that uses (and enables) EAS. There's many more games that you can now play on Linux that you could not before.

    It's almost at the point where Wine can run more games than Windows. Most games from the Win98 to early WinXP era just run fine on Wine and don't even show a title screen or glitch and flicker on Win10.
