1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

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.

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.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

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 remove France.

Question: Would I still struggle to get games working on a desktop using Linux as I have in the past

Maybe.

The Linux side problems are long since fixed. Games developed with modern engines just work on Linux.
The vast majority of older "this is for Windows only and we fucking mean it" games work perfectly on Linux with Proton anyway. Some require 3 minutes with a search engine to pick a preferred version.
nVidia is still going to nVidia.
Weird DRM bullshit is still going to weird DRM bullshit.

would they work as well as on a Steam Deck, that doesn't have to account for a variety of hardware differences?

Hell no. There's a reason we love the SteamDeck so much, and want to see the Steam Machine return.

Almost every single person I have seen lately saying gaming on Linux is awesome now, is using a literal device designed for it.

Yes. It's fucking amazing. Lol.

But what about my hardware? Is getting wrappers for nVidia drivers still a fucking PITA with a 50/50 chance of actually working correctly?

nVidia hasn't improved, to the best of my "fuck those guys" knowledge. (Meaning I'm not the most informed since I carefully avoid their chips. Lol.)

But the entire SteamDeck costs less than most graphics chips. It's not equivalent, but that's where my "fuck it, life is short" energy currently is.

I've heard nice things about other graphics chip makers, but I'm waiting with my SteamDeck docked for a Steam Machine console, myself.
