Linux Gaming Hood

We’re a tiny-ish community of users who prefer rolling releases, minimalism, and doing things ourselves (and then complaining when pacman breaks). Expect equal parts troubleshooting, distrowar banter, and casual multiplayer.

what we do

help each other with installs, configs, dotfiles, AUR shenanigans, and obscure package errors.
organize casual gaming nights: coop, FPS, roguelikes, emulators, and the occasional speedrun.
share configs, wallpapers, scripts, ricing screenshots, and the weird little hacks that make life nicer.
host voice channels for quick collabs, and impromptu game sessions.

community vibe

friendly but blunt. we value helpfulness and curiosity over gatekeeping.
tolerates memery and nerd humor, hates elitist attitudes.
newbies welcome: we encourage asking questions, but try to search first (and say what you already tried).

rules (bare minimum)

be respectful.. no harassment or hate speech.
no piracy sharing or illegal content.
keep NSFW in designated channels only.
don’t be a persistent spammer or trader clogging channels.

getting started

read #welcome and set your role: gamer, dev, ricer, newbie, etc.
drop your arch setup or what you’re playing rn in #introductions.
ask for help in #support with logs and what you tried — people respond faster if you show effort.

server features

channels for help: #support, #aura, #systemd, #dotfiles

quick tips

make backups before messing with pacman -Syu and AUR builds.
use TTYs when X goes weird, and keep an eye on journalctl.
share configs as gists or dotfiles repos; it helps others replicate fixes.
