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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 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

    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.

    There isn't some magic to this. Someone puts out a game thats as popular as say bg3 but doesn't run on steam deck and all these memes will go away overnight. Just hope that doesn't happen.

    Well, I feel like the Steam Deck has partially positioned itself as just a convenience device. I imagine quite some folks have it in addition to their (Windows) gaming PC and just use it on the couch or when travelling.

    In particular, the genre most likely to cause problems are competitive games (because anti-cheat freaks out when it notices slight differences compared to real Windows). And it wouldn't be my first thought to buy a Steam Deck to play those, simply because the screen is small and the primary controls aren't mouse+keyboard (even though you can of course dock the Steam Deck)

    Linux is the crab of the digital world, eventually everything turns into it.

    Linux, BSD, macOS, iOS, Android, QNX and so on are all Unix-like operating systems. Windows is the only widely used OS that's not Unix-like.

    Ah I figured the monolithic kernel would make it opposite to the unix philosophy.

    Steam deck gave me the courage to dump Windows 10 for Endeavour OS. Very happy so far.

    Fellow EOS user, glad to hear you're enjoying yourself. Just make sure to check the news on the Arch website before updating, sometimes an extra step gets thrown in and you don't wanna bork your system. I'd say use Informant, but it's been giving me shit
