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 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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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 figuresWe 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.

    Actually steam games work well. It's non steam games and ones with kernel level anti cheat.

    Interesting. What about Epic? (I don’t like them but free games are free games and I have a lot)

    [–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    Heroic Game Launcher for Epic, GOG and Amazon games works great.

    [–] Drathro@dormi.zone 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    Epic generally works fine through Heroic launcher. Though I've had some occasional problems with Heroic and in those cases Lutris running the Windows Epic Game Store Launcher solved every time. Steam and Proton are still the easiest plug n play though.

    I see. I’ll be more careful running epic.

    Steam deck is proton using Linux. I have hundreds of games across epic, gog, and steam. They all work just fine except for online games with certain anti cheat shit like what fortnite or gtaV use.

    Interesting. Sounds like I could play everything I like except Rivals.

    [–] h0rnman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago

    Rivals works great on my Linux rig. Occasionally they update and it breaks the intro video, but the core game has been stable since day 1.
