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.

    POV: you want to play a AAA game

    Linux can play almost all AAA titles and in many cases the performance is better than on windows.

    I wish this blanket statement was both true and things were as consistently easy and reliable too. Many games run great but with problems that simply don't occur on Windows.

    It's been a long time since I haven't been able to play a game on Linux. I recently moved my gaming PC from dual boot to solo Linux.

    I can imagine an onion tech article that states that a linux distro's biometric authentication feature has the computer shoot you in the head

    As a security “expert” by trade, Hello’s PIN garbage always frustrates me. Do you honestly think someone is going to put different PINs on different devices? I get the whole “don’t let the password leave the machine” but EVEN MICROSOFT solved that with Kerberos long ago. It’s a solution for a solved problem.

    None of the “benefits” seemed to line up. The multifactor/biometric support is in theory good, at least, but the rest of the copy they give users is useless.

    Use good, unique passphrases on a few things (your computer, your phone, and your password manager) and use randomly generated passwords for everything else.
