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.

    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.

    Because it's still an issue.

    It's actually easier to keep your graphics drivers updated on Linux vs windows, at least with AMD cards. All I have to do is type "sudo dnf upgrade" or if you're lazy click the "update" button and my system and GPU drivers are up to date.

    Also in regards to games, basically everything on steam works flawlessly and that will satisfy the majority of desktop gamers

    My guy, stop lying. Swapping GPUs is literally just that, I had to do nothing else. Upgrading my drivers also happens with the system updates. And pretty much all my games run either out of the box, or with very little tinkering (typically with very fresh releases), which is not really hard if you know how to do basic shit even in Windows.

    It's not. I still dual boot but boot more into Linux now as I do want to get away from Windows. The one thing that always held me back was gaming. There's still games that don't run but those tend to be ones that use specific anti cheat software. Certainly all the games I run work fine.

    If Linux couldn't play games the Steam Deck would be a very flawed concept!
