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!

    There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time. (lemmy.world)

    I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

    Yeah until you find a game which doesn't run only because of its dogshit Anti Cheat System Service.

    Fuck anti-cheat, the bane of gamers everywhere.

    I think they're a necessary evil, nothing ruins multiplayer more than cheats.

    [–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

    Then multiplayer should be its own app. Making a whole single-player game unplayable just so you can push anticheat cruft into everything.

    Punkbuster, VAC and EAC support Linux now.

    It's the truly invasive anti cheats like Vanguard, GameGuard, etc that won't run.
