Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

The Ally X also doesn't officially support Bazzite, so the point I was making remains.

Also, just as subjectively as Bazzite beats SteamOS, NixOS beats Bazzite if you want immutable.

Yeah fair but Lets be fr Here. Steamos and bazzite are Both handheld and General gaming tailored OSes while as you mentioned i doubt that people who wouldnt want to install their own os are willing to tinker with nix

Good to know, though I hate immutables, so I only played with a few while distro hopping after the 11 fiasco drove me bvack to Linux.

Though I guess it works since so many people force you to compile to get their stuff without using a flippin' flatpak. Tossing it all into .var is fine if you have limited access to your own image, and I suppose it does help keep people from buggering their entire system on accident, but it's kinda annoying to have half the things I want need to be compiled like Iw as still on Slackware 11 from before I moved to Windows 7 since flathub has become a Linux "app store" now.
