1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • 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.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Worked on me, I finally switched (like, REALLY switched) on my primary PC this year after using Linux only for servers and hobby projects for a long time. My only regret is that I may not live long enough to have used Linux longer than I used Windows. I'd have to make it to my mid 80's just to break even.

    Valve gets all the credit. Gaming was the main thing holding me back all this time.

    I hear that, I've been using Windows since '98, and only had Linux on my primary computer for a few weeks. I didn't think I'll be going back even though HDR support is spotty.

    HDR support is spotty but holy fuck was it bad when I was using windows

    Playing my HDR game? Add a few seconds of loading time while my screen turns off and then on. In game it's fine, but alt-tab, or receive a notification while playing, and the screen has to turn off and on again to display the SDR content, which takes long enough for the notification to be gone anyway. I can't even tell you how good or bad the HDR is on my screen lmao

    7800x3D / 7900XTX / Samsung Neo G9 OLED, so really it's not an hardware issue

    I don't think I've ever considered playing a game in HDR, Ive only ever used it for movies and tv. Works flawlessly in Wayland on arch kde plasma, but no HDR for x11...
