Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck). Potentially a $HOME

I kind of dig Linux Os, I find Linux users insufferable.
As a fellow Linux user I entirely agree. I stay off the forums as much as possible. My latest crime was uploading a tutorial on how to update the bios on certain laptop models. Got fucking roasted, even on lemmy.
For some reason Linux forums are like stack exchange; an extremely toxic neckbeard pissing match.
Oh shit, that sounds extremely helpful, why did they roast you?
I've been using Linux since Ubuntu 8.10 iirc, and I'm still a fucking moron at dealing with Linux so I'm always thankful for people like you.
I might have been very lucky. I've barely seen anything negative than when people post factually incorrect or potentially dangerous/bricking stuff.
Though, I do keep a healthy distance from the Ubuntu and Arch forums.
Eh, you'll get the worse of any userbase if you go to a community specifically for that OS. Go to PC Master race or whatever to see the opposite problem.
I've been on Linux exclusively for something like 15 years, but I almost never bring it up. In fact, I don't even mention my distro of choice unless it's directly relevant, and if asked I recommend something different (I recommend Mint Debian edition because I've heard it's very user friendly).
I also find many people in communities like this insufferable as well, so I spend my time trying to tone them down a bit with comments like "Linux isn't for everyone, but it'll always be there if you decide to give it another try." I use Linux because it works better for me than Windows, yet many here make it a religion or something. It's kinda weird.
