  • 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!

    Back when you had to install steam in wine and then for a while you would have native steam and wine steam in the same distro install. Now it's so easy that I figure anyone talking shit about gaming on Linux only plays those rootkit anticheat shooters or hasn't played games since having kids or something and have become one of those people that are shocked to hear what they thought were current gen consoles are actually really old already.

    I actually found an old /home drive of mine this week where I had exactly this setup, so painful.

    Trying to find the correct steamapps folder for the particular instance of the game and going through all the dot folders and wine folder structure... that hasn't actually improved much now that I think about it.

    Gaming on Linux in general has improved a lot more than the pollution levels in my town at least.
