Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

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 remove France.

I'd love to move to Linux but I play some old ass games that I've no idea if they'll work. I missed out a lot of games since my PC was pure ass and it's just something I like doing.

For eg I want to play OG Deus Ex (never done before), and do a replay of Morrowind with fancy mods. I also recently replayed Splinter Cell because I felt like it.

Neither darktable or RawTherapee doing it for you?

I still have to try them out when I have some raw photos to edit.

Is fractional scaling a standard feature in GNOME now? Last time I needed it, it was still an experimental feature I had to enable.

Linux has been ready since 2008. Literally not had a single real problem since Ubuntu 7.10 kept turning my monitor off while booting. Everything just works and has for 17 years now.

Every problem I see people have now (IRL not online) is 'I don't like the default theme' tier nonsense.

I worry about Wayland for the features it drops from X11. Wayland will never have xdotool support, due to its security model. I worry about onscreen keyboards for drawing tablets and screen readers for the blind.

Wish it was ready. I have it dual booted with windows. Until these things work for me I can't permanently switch:

Adobe H264/5 in davinci free Battle.net working (I can't get it to work even with tutorials. Works in windows) AMD adrenaline/Nvidia control panels and shadow play. AMD frame gen.
