  • That’s what the “verified for deck” is for in steam. In my experience every game works that fulfills these criteria:

    A. Is not one of a few competitive multiplayer games that have decided to not allow Linux players to play. Among these are Destiny 2 and PUBG for example.

    B. Does not require mouse and keyboard (and even then the touchpads and steam input sometimes makes it work anyways)

    C. Is not VR (for obvious reasons)

    If you are unsure you can also check protondb which someone else linked.






  • This gets posted like once per week and this is inaccurate as shit.

    “Wayland is bad, it can’t run xorg programs”

    Ok but there is an exact copy of the program that is made for Wayland. It’s the same argument that Windows users use to discredit Linux .

    “Linux is bad because it can’t run programs that were made for Windows”


  • My favorite part is where he admits to being mad without even knowing what Wayland is.

    Edit: When I wrote the above, I didn’t really realize what Wayland even was, I just noticed that some distributions (like Fedora) started pushing it onto me and things didn’t work properly there.



  • I had a surface pro 4 with Linux for several years. The install process is a bit annoying since you need to get the custom surface kernel but other than that it worked great. I had a lot of issues with the hardware (unrelated to Linux), but I’ve heard that it has gotten better with the newer versions




  • 🚫 Insulting the intelligence of the recipient by way of apology:

    • “I’m sorry for not being more clear”
    • “I’m sorry about being so misleading”

    How are those insulting? Saying that I should have been more clear means I am the one who messed up by not communicating properly. Something like “sorry that you misunderstood” would be insulting since it places the blame on the recipient’s intelligence.
