  • 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.

    There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time. (lemmy.world)

    I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

    And to say that there used to be a time when "Linux gaming" was an oxymoron as it at most meant SuperTuxKart or mindlessly watching glxgears.

    Mindlessly watching glxgears is the greatest experience a GPU can render.

    They're so smooth when you buy a high end graphics card.

    Windows gamers will never understand the joy that glxgears gave us

    I remember when Linux gaming meant Nethack.

    [–] circuskid@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

    I mean, Nethack is still great...

    Is there something like vulkangears now?

    [–] Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    vkcube exists in most repositories I guess

    Edit: Looks like there is a vkgears too

    vulkangears

    I know that the vulcan-tools package has vkcube in it. Someone did make vulkangears as an example, along with some other examples, but I don't think its a published package in any distro repos so it'd need to be manually compiled to run it.

    Been playing Warcraft 3 / DotA and Counter-Strike on Linux since 2005. Still playing Dota and Counter-Strike. Are there other games worth playing? 😂
