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!

    Both of those will have worse performance, but I don't see why they wouldn't work. Just whenever it needs to grab more data it'll have to go to the USB to get it, which is slow. You could load the game that's stored on the disk already (this will require more effort and knowledge than installing Steam and it installing it locally on your Linux drive), so that'd be better, but the system data will be slow. If you have a lot of RAM it'll reduce how often data is grabbed, so it'll reduce the issues after boot.
