2. Be civil
  • 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.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 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.
  • 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. 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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I'm looking at you, ubisoft (feddit.org)

    Reason for this meme is that some ubisoft titles are shipped with a broken version of ubisoft connect launcher. Installing these games is only possible by running the installer for the launcher again via protontricks.

    Funnily the first time I tried Linux on my desktop was because I wanted to play BF4 but the EA App refused to launch on Windows 10 even after restarting/reinstalling everything.

    I slapped Pop_OS on a backup SSD and got it running through Lutris within the hour.

    Origin was a fucking nightmare to use even on Windows, and honestly...the EA desktop app wasn't really an improvement.

    Origin was better in literally every way, but it's predecessor, the EA Download Manager, was even better, as it wasn't an always-online DRM piece of shit. You logged in, it listed your games, it downloaded them, and games still used a CD key.

    Though I'm still pissy, as I bought NFS Carbon and obtained it via EADM, but when they moved to Origin, existing games didn't transfer, and there was no way to grab games for archival. So EA owes me a fucking copy of Carbon, since I didn't have it installed when they sunset EADM.

    Fuck you, EA. In every conceivable sense of the word and action.
