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!

    I have a Windows VM specifically for that purpose. Game directories are mounted as network drives. The only issue is that I can't use hardlink deployment in Vortex, but Nexus is making a new app to replace it that might have a Linux-native release.

    Mounting games to your virtual machine as a network drive? That sounds like a rather tricky workaround. Has it given you much trouble?

    I use Virtualbox's shared folders, they appear as network drives in the guest machine. It hasn't given me any trouble, but like I said, it's limited to what you can do with a network share on Windows, so no links.
