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!

    That stat about games doesn't track for me

    Most Windows games i try run fine on linux

    [โ€“] coffinwood@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    "Most".

    [โ€“] irmoz@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Yeah, out of dozens and dozens of games I've ran, about 2 or 3 didn't work

    And I'd almost bet these two to three titles run fine in Windows which is exactly the point: what is Linux's advantage here concerning gaming?

    When I want to play a certain title I don't want something similar because that derivate runs on Linux. That's maybe okay for casual games like a round of Solitaire where the Linux alternatives are fine.

    Windows 95 maybe... these games were old AF. Nothing made within the past 20 years has this issue.

    The only games that don't run on Linux now, are games that don't run on Windows, either

    The advantage? I genuinely have a much easier time setting up games on Linux
