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.

    Some people these days are actually looking to give up Adobe. You know it has to be bad for them to want to make massive changes to there workflow. I think it has to do with Adobe using your data for AI.

    Windows 11 may be the first major version of Windows that I never use on my own personal rig. I’ve used 98, XP, 7, 8/8.1, and 10 throughout my life. But I’ve got no reason to touch 11 when Arch (or fill in with your distro of choice) with KDE exists. It’s just a much better experience.

    Shoot, even my daughters share a computer with endeavorOS+KDE installed and they have no problems using it. Windows 11 would refuse to even install on that same machine.

    VR is literally the only reason my next PC will still have Windows.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

    I only continue to use Windows 11 because dual booting Linux breaks my Windows installation for whatever reason. I've been told that putting each OS on its own separate SSD works fine, but it's hard to do when you're using a laptop that you're not sure whether or not it has an extra NVMe slot or even a SATA slot.

    Virtual machines are my only fix.

    What the fuck is all this anti-Windows 11 talk? I have never had a problem with it. Is it because of functionality or something else? Because, functionality wise, it’s been fine for me. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Oh shit I didn’t realize this was in Linux. Welp o7 I go down with my ship lmao

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

    Well I find it perfectly fine to use in a VM

    Brave of you to walk into the ~~lion's~~ linux den with that

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    I was genuinely like, “oh no no no no” when I noticed. But oh well, it’s kinda funny to me.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

    Yeah I got a laugh from the edit as well, this is a meme community after all.

    Been on Mac for years now. I love hot corners.

    Gnome is better in my experience

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

    I like that it works

    I had to work with a win 11 system today. I needed to fast move through a lot of pictures with the m$ image viewer, every time I delete a picture it does a fucking slow animation which just steals my time.

    Okay, I went to the win-settings and removed animations. Photo-app still does animations...

    FU M$.

    Time to write a powershell script...

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

    I don't use it (haven't used Windows in decades), but I kept a small partition with Windows 11 on it which I boot from time to time as I enjoy watching what it's becoming.

    It's like watching a slow motion industrial accident. Horrifying fascination.

    Virtualization exists

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

    I have a reverb g2 and the only linux projects that support it don't work with the controllers

    Microsoft is going to kill WMR in the next couple years so I'll probably switch then, luckily it seems like people are working on controller support already so hopefully that's stable by november 2026

    i played valorant then tried cs2 and preferred that, and as a benefit it runs on linux

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    I'm playing Wuthering Waves that is a more fair genshin impact and the dev is actively blocking Linux so far, so I'm not switching.

    Strangely enough mihoyo themselves are letting linux players alone nowadays, both Genshin and ZZZ work without needing a VM, but they were also hostile against them in the beginning with genshin.

    Thankfully I managed to purge gacha games from my life despite all the sunk cost feeling. God I miss the times when entertainment was innocent and not trying to rob me

    I play BO3 Zombies on Linux, and I do not pay money for that divinium.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

    Dual boot but only if you have spare disk for Windows, or alternatively run it in virtual machine.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

    I have a < 100€ think centre for ps & 3dsmax, my main PC is on Linux.

    It feels soo good.

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (5 children)

    Right now it's pretty much just HDR and music production softwares that don't run on Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

    I think we just need more options for creative software

    True. However Most of the plugins I use don't.

    Also, I'm an FL Studio guy though learning reaper wouldn't be out of the question if my plugins worked.
