- 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

Is the joke that games are proprietary software too?
Well that too. The real joke is that despite the fact we've had 10 "years of the linux desktop", it's still an absolute bitch to get PICK A GAME working on that shiny linux box.
My new Lenovo Legion, I'm struggling with desktop graphics tearing issues in linux (just viewing the WM, of all things). When i have time, I'll muddle through it, but I can't pretend that is easier in linux than windows. It's vendor-driven, sure, but the end user doesn't care why they waste 8 hours doing setup work, only THAT they do.
THIS oh my god
And the amount of people that will do ANYTHING to defend Linux baffles me, and they all do it thinking they help Linux in general instead of highlighting their issues so they can be fixed
"Trust me guys, it's 95% better with Proton now" lol
Some of those people need to see all the users asking for help on Linux gaming forums.
Not trying to dismiss that Linux Gaming has gotten better before Proton but it can be an absolute pain at times.
Yeah, trust me, Linux Gaming used to be real shit. "When it works it works" is lightyears better than it used to be.
I remember in my linux-only years, trying to muddle through linux exclusives. Oftentimes you had to be super careful because linux doesn't love prepared binaries
