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!

    Does anyone else run updates and watch the screen like you're some movie hacker?

    Then when it's finish, you crack your knuckles and go, "It's about time. ๐Ÿ˜Ž" but all you do is open Firefox and look at some boring website for two hours?

    This reminds me the other day I was in my house stressed because I couldn't install Cyberpunk 2077 on Fedora (I'm new to Linux so I don't know much and I had been distro hopping).

    My MIL was in the house and she saw my screen filled with open terminals, documentation, lutris, wine, everything you can imagine open because I had no idea how to solve a stupid issue.

    I heard her tell my wife "wow he must be pretty busy, he must be doig something really important and it's so impressive that he can read code like that I didn't know he could do that"

    All I wanted to do was to play some damn game bro...

    Terminal = hacker

    Why couldn't you?

    If you have the gog version it's not particularly user friendly to get those up and running if you're a new Linux user

    You can just point to it in lutris an choose wine ge and it just works for me

    Can't you just install it in bottles?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

    I'm sure you can, but not really my point. Linux gaming outside of steam is horrifying and trying to install anything as a new user is bloody impossible.

    Just use heroic

    Here's the thing - you were learning some valuable troubleshooting skills and some details about the workings of your operating system. The reward was playing a game.

    One day you'll realize you've passively developed enough skill to use on the job.
