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.
  • ย 

    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.

    No, the #steam deck is just an attempt to secure their longevity if #Microsoft tries to kick them from #windows.

    The steam deck is also a way to get people to buy more games.

    Kick them from Windows? You mean "piss off literally every game developer, publisher, and player to the point of antitrust lawsuits from multiple entities."

    But go on being literally insane with conspiracy horseshit.

    @CapraObscura

    I am not saying that it is likely. But Microsoft is trying to push their own store fronts quite heavily.

    Besides, valve has been trying to push linux for a long time. Remember the steam machines?

    Being the best OS for gaming gives Microsoft a lot of power.
