- 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.

- 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.

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.

True I just moved my gaming PC to Linux and wow!! Almost all of my games run on Linux. Thank you for everyone working so hard.
This is the main reason, other than gog's lack of support, for not going full Linux.
You can use a launcher like Heroic to play games you have on gog or epic.
Also Lutris. I haven't actually tried Heroic so I don't know how they compare, but Lutris is a pretty good launcher.
I buy mostly GOG games (like 90%) and with Heroic it's quite easy.
But it's not as good as simply using steam
Nope, not yet. But it's getting there. And at least for me it's worth it.
Also thank Valve and buy a Valve game.
Or a Steam Deck. :)
Honestly, if you have the extra money, buy it. It's just a great device.
