  • 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.

    I am looking at switching to Linux soon. I really want to be able to keep playing my old WH40k games and my City of heroes and my other MMOs. So you are telling me these will run fine on Linux? I am new at this Linux thing so forgive me.

    In my experience, Linux has been superior for older games because proton (the compatibility layer that makes windows game work on Linux) has a ton of old windows components packed in that are broken on modern windows.

    The main issue people have these days are with newer multiplayer games and anti-cheat not playing nice with proton.

    Modding can also be a bit of a hurdle if you’re into that sort of thing, but with a bit of work it’s doable.

    I have a lifetime STO account and I like to do a taskforce every now and then. Maybe I should just keep a machine that runs my MMOs and do everything else on the Linux machine. EDIT--I just looked this up and it will run through Steam

    [–] Netrunner1197@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

    Most MMOs should be fine. Off the top of my head the games that don’t work because of anti cheat are Destiny, CoD, and the Riot games (League and Valorant)
