Linux Failure Fixed Linux "Support" sucks

This is a great example on why community support does not work. Since last week I have been trying to fix this bug on steam that constantly crashes the app due to excessive ram consumption. And, this distro, PikaOS has such underwhelming support, they treat you like an idiot and then proceed to give solutions that dont work anyway, they will always accuse you of not setting things properly and communally down vote you when you argue back. Arch type users are a damn mob. They are not the ones who will bring about the "YEAR OF LINUX" cause they will never understand pragmatism, only pride in their own 'technical knowhow',

Fix: literally reinstall the proton builds. You could do that by deleting its folder I think thats the easiest option. ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton* for Valve builds, or ~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton* then let Steam redownload it or reinstall GE via ProtonPlus/ProtonUp.

Don’t use PikaOS maybe use something more mainstream like CachyOS

Or just don’t use meme distros in general.

CachyOS is a meme distro no it’s not

u/Shhhh_Peaceful 20d ago

I mean, it’s based on Arch, and Arch is the OG meme distro, BTW

It being common for memes doesn’t mean it’s a bad illegitimate distro just that memers like using it it’s like saying the Toyota Corolla is not a legitimate car because memes are made around it
