  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

  • 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.

    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.

    The newer updates to Wine are making that less relevant.

    I only play competitive online. Kernel anti-cheat does not work on Linux.

    Kernel anti-cheat does not work on Linux

    And hopefully never will.

    Please keep the spyware on the spyware operating system.

    I've been a Linux user nearly exclusively) for over 20 years, I still keep an iPad and a windows desktop around for government stuff because the their apps and websites don't work on my hardened systems (sus) or through TOR (less sus).

    Competitive online gaming is a very small niche of the gaming community.

    [–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I beg to differ. Otherwise there would already have been an exodus to linux

    [–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    People are on Windows because of inertia.

    If you look at just PC gaming, Steam charts show that the big competitive kernel-level AC titles are way down, the biggest one is the newest Rainbow 6, with 80k players of the 36 million people active on Steam right now, 10 million being in-game. Funny thing is, the biggest Steam title is indeed a competitive online shooter, CS2, but it runs fine on Linux.

    If it was competitive gaming that was the only reason people aren't on Linux, most other segments would have seen a mass migration already. Competitive games can't explain why 95%+ of the community is not on Linux.

    I'm on Windows because the games i want to play doesn't work on linux. Simple as that.

    [–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I know. What I'm saying is that your experience isn't universal.

    [–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

    Numbers don't lie.

    I'm gently nudging my kid towards Linux though. But i have a feeling he will swap as soon as he encounters resistance or technical issues. Such as not being able to play the "new" game with his friends.

    Kernel anti-cheat won't work on windows soon anyways

    After the whole crowd strike debacle Microsoft is trying to remove most things from the kernel into user land, including anti-cheat. If this will actually makes wine possible for those games is still up for debate but either way kernel-level anti-cheat seems to be on the way out.

    That first sentence is so greasy

    [–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

    It's a nice outlet for my competitive nature. I get close to zero enjoyment from single player games or pve.
