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!

    Compile it from source?

    Or:

    Software has a Linux version and it only comes as a .deb

    Depends on a load of packages exclusive to Ubuntu and installing it on stock Debian is bloody impossible

    Yeah I remember when Steam came to Linux. Never got it to work. I hope it is better nowadays? (Sadly can't check. My only pure Linux box at the moment is a Raspberry Pi, I don't expect Steam to run on that either)

    You can get Steam on just about any distro, for years at this point. And there's always Flatpak for these cases too although for Steam I recommend native packages.

    Steam works fine for me. On Gentoo.

    ?!? I'm not sure to understand this post? I will only install stuff that are .deb, not big image or snap or whatever?!?

    What's the problem with deb when you are using debian based distro? Else you can easily extract the content and cp it in place

    [–] nekothegamer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    but what about people that are not on debian or debian based distros... like me?

    No offense, but debs are just objectively better than rpms. I use both
