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!

    To be honest, it is quite complicated now as well with all of the proprietary software (sh.itjust.works)

    Disagree. Take game saves on windows. They can be in appdata\local, appdata\roaming, documents\company-name, documents\savedgames\company-name I'm sure there are more.

    Nah. 3 places.

    • Appdata subfolder
    • Documents
    • Game installation folder

    Savegame folder is then placed either ina folder with game name or studio name, so easy to check all these locations within minutes.

    Let's not talk about rpgmaker games tho. I've seen them do some wacky shit with gamesaves.

    Edit: To make my point clearer, I disagree with person above me about their disagreement. Savegames on windows are predictable as hell. Thanks to person below for pointing out I didn't convey. :<

    Yes but appdata subfolder is local, locallow or roaming so the poster above you is still correct.

    Lol, appdata subfolder is already 3 different places 😂
