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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    I also gave it a shot, but 2 days later went back. On handhelds, SteamOS is objectively better OS. Overlays, performance monitoring, power management etc.

    But I keep seeing people who want SteamOS on desktops. Why? I seriously don't see any advantages to that over any other Linux distro with KDE+Steam. And no, Sleep isn't an argument because that is tied to the Deck hardware and probably wouldn't work properly on a regular x86 desktop

    Right? I always find it weird people want SteamOS, from my experience, all distros are "gaming distros", just install your drivers if not already installed, then install the game through something like Lutris, Heroic, or Steam.

    I play on Debian 12 (used to be 11) exclusively through Lutris/Native, and it works flawlessly.
