  • 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.

    Do game support it? Last I heard it didn't work on any games

    [–] jonne@infosec.pub 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Valve did some work to support it in steam deck, it's going to work its way upstream hopefully.

    So it's the answer "no" right now?

    [–] jonne@infosec.pub 3 points 5 months ago

    Probably depends on how much effort you want to put into it. Probably works in some distros with certain repos, but won't work out of the box everywhere.

    It works in Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 for me. Haven't tried anything else.

    I think games running through proton and wine support it.

    [–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    So it feels like these are all extra layers. I haven't used Wine in years, but it was very frustrating the last time I tried it.

    By comparison (don't crucify the messenger), Windows supports it by default. This is one of the many reasons why I still game on Windows. In general, games just work. You click install and then play and you're up and running in just a few minutes.

    ...I'll see myself out.

    Running games through Proton is as simple as clicking install and then play on Steam. You might need to enable Steam Play or such but I haven't had setup or config troubles with games in years now
