      You can tell because it suggests Linux isn’t for gamers but Valve has its own game console that runs on Linux. It’d be pretty stupid if a game console couldn’t run games.

        You can also tell just by how jpegged the image has become.

          I think modern playstations run something BSD based, the switch might too. The Xbox runs some weird NT based thing.

      That doesn’t mean it is not a great meme!

      Just look at all the butt hurt comments complaining about the content :)

    How to tell someone is a Linux gamer?

              You forgot the fedoras and capes. And of course OG h4X0rs wore XXL t-shirts and ancient jeans, and lived on honey coffee, locusts cigarettes and stuff that got stuck between their toes.

              People who wear cat ear headphones and thigh high socks are actually respectable. When OP says “hoodie” they mean “script kiddie who feels like a badass for changing the color of his terminal”.

              Note the lack of use of gender neutral pronouns. I do not believe that any woman or enby, trans or otherwise, would stoop so low.

      Hoodie OS. Used by people who type one line into a terminal to bring down the government and say “I’m in” when they extract data from databases.

    I am one of the few who once had BSD installed on a laptop, and GOD DAMN do I miss being that weirdo.

    This one didn’t age quite as poorly as some of the others. I have gotten to the point of generally preferring Linux gaming now though. Bsd is still a bit lacking for my general computing but opnsense on my router is one of those ‘where has this been all my life?’ things.

      OpnSense wasn’t quite there yet a few years ago. Now, it’s golden 👍! Don’t know why people still prefer pfSense over OpnSense, it’s so much easier to set up and maintain.

        I didn’t try pfsense but it sounded like opnsense suited me better and I have had no reason to change so far. It has also made managing my self host stuff so much easier but a lot of it is pending being redone with more future proofing.

    I have to admit I used FreeBSD as my daily driver years ago. But I’ve also used everything else in the list at one point or another.

        Lol, yep. Twenty years give or take testing just about everything along the way. 😂

    I knew nothing about linux 2 years ago and started with installing Debian on my surface go 2. This explains why I couldn’t get the web cam to work to this day.

      Try frimware binary blob packages, those usually have whatever to make the thingie work with the Linux kernel.

        I’m not sure what do you mean by firmware blob but Ive done the following:

        1. Added non-free to the sources file.
        2. Installed Surface-linux lib.

        There is a guide in surface-linux library which requires compiling something with CMAKE. I’m not comfortable at the moment to do it since I don’t have the time to fix it if something went wrong.

        I couldn’t find a good touch gui for debian so ill give ubuntu a shot.

          In the non-free repo, there should be something like firmware-broadcom, firmware-amd, firmware-intel, etc. Those are binary blobs, closed source firmware (supplied by the manufacturer) that is loaded in the device in order to make it work with the linux kernel. See the make and model od the device via lspci or lsusb (depends on how the device is connected to the PC) and see the make and model. If it’s, let’s say, Broadcom, install the Broadcom firmware package and restart the rig.

          Regarding cmake, you could use BTRFS to revert everything back to the way it was, just make a restore point before doing make install.
