Community rules (click to expand)

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.

For me it's Nvidia tech, VR, and HDR, even if they're technically supported, they're much more of a hassle than on Windows.

Funnily enough, I've seen opinions that Windows has awful HDR handling and Plasma is much better, but I don't have a proper HDR display to check. I've also had some success with VR, though I haven't played much on Linux. That said, support from software for those things for Linux is still widely lacking, so it's not much consolation.

The thing with Windows is that it's very much set and forget with HDR. I don't bother with auto HDR since it isn't great, but I just enable HDR, and have RTX HDR handle non-HDR games. I don't really need to touch anything else or launch games in a specific way to get it working. I've tried VR with Linux but I've been spoiled by the accessibility of VD.

I have a decent list of software I need it for unfortunately so I'm keeping my best PC on Windows, but I have four PCs in the house. I've been running Linux on one of them for a couple years but the other two will be moved over by Windows 10 EOL.
