  • 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.

    This seems dated. I'm not saying there is no issues but man has it improved so much.

    [–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 41 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Improved =/= working 100% of the time

    [–] noisypine@infosec.pub 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Ah, yes, not 100% of the time. You know, like Windows. Thanks for the laugh.

    My whole thing even more than (gaming which is huge) is having to relearn how to make everything work. I was (i honestly have to say 'was' ugh) nearly a windows 'power user' for awhile, maybe peaked in my skills getting hardware running, programs and games running until win7 came out and shit just worked.

    Nowadays when i go back to fix shit, or even just change a setting i have to relearn how to do it. Am i crazy or do they keep moving shit now? Fucking why? I have windows cuz inertia at this point but if i have to Google how to change basic Windows settings then there's not much stopping me from tossing a match on Windows and walking away

    So much shit keeps moving... Usually for NO REASON, even on Android run into it all the time.

    Meh i had to restart overwatch a few times because it has a bug where sometimes miving my mouse in any way causes me to look up and spin counter clockwise at an insane speed... So yeah theres that

    [–] inverted_deflector@startrek.website 2 points 10 months ago

    It has but for multiplayer games and especially a game you never launched before there can be some friction.

    [–] rbits@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

    It's different for different people. The distro, the hardware, and the game can all have an effect on how often problems arise.

    For sure, but just as an example I tried starting Black Mesa on steam yesterday, which has a native release, but had to tinker quite a bit to get it working. Unfortunately I think it's often the case that the native releases gets forgotten and lags behind the windows/proton releases
