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!

    Been daily driving Bazzite for almost half a year now. I currently have two seperate 2TB SSD's, one with Windows 11 and the other has Bazzite. Bought a 1TB SSD so I can migrate my Windows install to a smaller SSD since I much prefer Linux now.

    Just need to stop being lazy and finish migrating everything I care about off my old Windows install onto my new 1TB Windows install, then I plan to install CachyOS onto the soon to be free'd up 2TB SSD, since I'm curious about Arch Linux. I'll always have Bazzite to fall back on if need be, or god forbid, Windows.

    Compatibility is unlikely to be very different. The key is immutability (easy to update, hard to brick your system) and some baked in nice to haves for gaming like some specific drivers/patches and controller support out of the box.

    In theory, compatibility on Fedora-based distros may be slightly better since they have newer Linux kernels, meaning all the drivers are newer and you get bug fixes sooner. On the other hand, you also get all the new bugs sooner :)

    Not sure about Ubuntu, but the AMD GPU firmware that ships with Debian can become very outdated, and you need to manually download newer firmware to get the bug fixes. Until July 2024, the version of AMD firmware in Debian (even in testing and unstable) was over a year old, from June 2023.
