1. Follow the site-wide rules

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!

    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.

    The Linux part usually is not a problem.

    Wasnt talking about Windows. Just saying most launchers work fine on Linux (at least, as well as they do on Windows).

    The problem is not the OS, its the existence of unnecessary launchers in the first place, as well the poor general functionality.

    Its just another place for them to serve you ads and inject DRM.

    Would be cool if they all got together and funded indepedent non-profit development of a cross-platform launcher with store/friends/servers, etc.

    Until then I'll stick with Steam + HGL and nothing else.

    There was this launcher for Mirrors Edge (EA i think?) that hit the security limit of 50k simultaneus opened files. Not the game, mind you.
