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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    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.

    I dont disagree with this but i don't know about significant segment, thats kind of delusional

    [–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

    Yeah, I’m Linux-only and have been for the last 17 years, but we are not a significant percentage of the gaming market. Still less than 3% last time I checked.

    Otherwise, yeah fuck kernel anticheats that don’t even stop cheating.

    [–] emb@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

    There are dozens of us!

    Yeah, I also wish they'd have better support, but Linux players are not a huge group.

    Steam Deck and Steam machines have helped a lot though. Without Valve's weight behind it, trying to game on Linux would probably be a lot worse.

    Gamers will literally beg corpos to rootkit them.

    That's a slippery slope argument from a post that just says all anti-cheat games should work, I did not say I support kernel anti-cheat.

    [–] Loid@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

    Not even slippery slope, that guy just manifested an argument out of his ass
