  • 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.

    I have a reverb g2 and the only linux projects that support it don't work with the controllers

    Microsoft is going to kill WMR in the next couple years so I'll probably switch then, luckily it seems like people are working on controller support already so hopefully that's stable by november 2026

    I like that it works

    I only continue to use Windows 11 because dual booting Linux breaks my Windows installation for whatever reason. I've been told that putting each OS on its own separate SSD works fine, but it's hard to do when you're using a laptop that you're not sure whether or not it has an extra NVMe slot or even a SATA slot.

    Virtual machines are my only fix.

    I mean playing games on manjaro is ok, the problem is modding fallout 3/nv

    Yeah, but installing the android sdk though

    I dual booted Linux Mint with Windows 10 on my gaming laptop so that I wouldn't have to upgrade to Windows 11 or buy a new computer.

    I kind of like having Linux on a VM in Windows. I only use Linux for things like web browsing or writing papers which a VM can do. For gaming, I prefer Windows to avoid any problems I might encounter (like anticheats).

    This gives me a near-ideal set up with access to both Linux and Windows. I just wish my Linux VM can do 120+hz and GPU passthrough.

    I generally only use Linux for programming just because how convenient and straightforward it is, but beyond that I have no incentive to move.

    I like KDE but the ui is jank af right now, after logging in, it takes a solid 1-2 min for the taskbar to actually popup, and opening file manager including any file dialogs takes about 5-10 secs which is pretty insane since I'm running on a pretty powerful PC with a Samsung 990 pro M.2.

    For context I am using Endeavour distro with nothing else modified.

    Why KDE then? There are lots of options depending on what you want. If there is one thing Linux has it is options.
