- 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.

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.

MODERATORS
90 percent of Linux users being Steamdecks, where the consumer didn't really make a choice to build the SD framework on Linux.
Almost every Windows user never made the active choice to use Windows either, and Steaw Deck is 40% of Linux users.
Idk the percentage of microsoft windows users that just used the preinstalled OS of the pc they bought, and never actively decided on an OS. But I assume it's very high.
A lot of people choose the steam deck over it's windows competitors, and mostly because the software experience is better on the deck vs. Windows.
I have a Deck and a ROG Ally. Windows on the Ally sucks, and I'm going to return it. The hardware is generally pretty good other than the SD card slot issue, but the software being constantly broken ruins the whole thing.
You can put SteamOS on other systems now
It's not the same, and the lack of touchpads is really limiting. Even on windows, touchpads on the ROG Ally would go a long way to making the OS usable.
