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!

    Steam is proprietary

    Yeah but with Steam Deck you're not forced to use it. It's an unlocked x86-64 compatible handheld PC. Install whatever you want.

    It is. And the only reason they are investing in the Linux space is the windows store, which was a threat to the existence of the steam store. So they started doing their own: they dabbled with Linux and eventually started proton. And thanks to vulkan, wine and many other projects they created something very cool.

    They aren't our friends, but they are currently going in a favorable direction. Let's just hope they don't normalize something shitty like DRM again.
