  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

  • 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.

    This is really just going to make Apple more sales and cripple the PC gaming market.

    Then, Apple will do it and… maybe that will be the year of Linux desktop? πŸ˜‰

    Linux Gaming is now a truly viable force thanks to Steam (Proton). The PC Gaming market will be fine without Windows.

    Except it's still hell for online games with anti-cheat. Just about every other month, another article comes out about "Linux players unable to launch..." or "Linux players banned from..."

    Edit: "They hated him because he spoke the truth."

    Valve is actively funding alternatives to those anti cheats and also working with them to get Linux supported. Its just not happening overnight.

    [–] HeyLow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

    Both easy anticheat and battle eye have support for Linux native and proton, it's just down to the developers of games to enable it

    Without windows more developers would likely enable support

    Idk, I see this argument every time this discussion comes up but I've yet to experience anti cheat issues. I don't think they don't exist but it's been extremely smooth sailing for me

    [–] Ganbat@lemmyonline.com 2 points 2 years ago

    Idk, but I know the last time I saw it happen was just under two months ago, with Apex Legends. IIRC, they never reversed those, either.

    As much as I hate being bled to death by subscription services, It’s probably still cheaper to subscribe to windows for a whole decade than use an apple computer outright for half that time.

    The majority of Linux users aren’t in it because it’s free (as in free beer) anyway, and most broke gamers will likely continue to just pirate windows regardless.

    However now that data usage and privacy and security is becoming a hot topic in the age of AI, I think once Microsoft and apple both start getting really brazen with their telemetry and embedded spyware, it will finally be the year of the Linux desktop! ;)

    Apple is by far the worst offender of expensive shit products. It's not going to make apple gain shit...the barrier to entry for an apple computer is just fucking stupid for what you get...nothing that good.

    Manifesting this outcome right now
