- 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

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

I gave that up decades ago. If i can't do it in Linux, i don't need to do it.
sadly if you do PC gaming you are sometimes forced to use windows. If all your friends play League of Legends it doesn't help you to say "but DotA 2 runs on Linux", you need windows or you can't play with your friends. Same goes for lots of Multiplayer games like GTA Online.
All the tools and stuff I agree. But for games there just is no option other than Windows sometimes
Every situation is different. I used to pc game from 90s on. I now just steam some games, console and VR the rest. CAD is done with FreeCAD, GIMP / 'shop, I only solo play games. My few friends from 40 years ago just do board games and disc golf.
Again situations are different. What i stated is accurate in my case.
I did never say anything against it, I just said why that's not feasible for everyone.
BTW: If you don't want to use FreeCAD, Fusion360 works completely fine in Linux using this helper. Again: this is not to say that you should not use FreeCAD, it's just more information for other people reading this thread.
