Here a little poll to see who is right, my colleagues from work always are Ultra Hardcore Linux fans , and dont even consider ever switching to windows. Now, I also use Linux for my Servers, but in terms of gaming I dont think theres a better choice. Therefore, the term PC Masterrace: Which OS is it running ?

I rely on Windows solely because of gaming.

The whole PCMR joke comes from PCs performing better in games than consoles, leading to the "master race vs dirty peasants" analogy. Because Windows powers gaming, it's the main choice for PCMR.

I reviewed Linux on the Linux Mint forum. I wanted to note my prior experience with Ubuntu, which had similar issues. My goal was to boost security, run Windows 10 in a VM with HyperV, and play games that way. There were few tutorials and no support, making it seem too complicated. I tried installing Steam from the store, but it would stop after a short update and then disappear entirely. I also downloaded the .Deb package directly and faced the same problem when running it via terminal with SUDO. After about nine hours of troubleshooting, I decided to switch back to Windows 10 and felt relieved. On the positive side, Mint works well for office or multimedia tasks, though I haven’t explored gaming. My Nvidia card worked smoothly once drivers were installed, which was much easier than any Ubuntu experience before. I appreciate the OS but dislike its quirks; I’d love it if I could use it more, but time and energy are better spent elsewhere. Overall, Mint is a great choice for specific needs, but it’s not ideal for gaming or complex setups.

Windows is clearly the best operating system for PCs. I personally dislike PCMR.

It's enjoyable yet bothersome for gamers on the console.

If you're not a gamer, joining PCMR isn't really possible. The idea behind PCMR started with gaming and the equipment needed to run it. Even if you don't play games, Windows remains the standard for gaming.

In short, it seems like a show of unity centered on perceived differences served to boost personal pride. This reflects traits of elitism and narcissism. Your thoughts in another thread echo similar ideas.

I belong to the PCMR for various reasons, all of which have been talked about and confirmed many times before. I’m comfortable with the console gaming community; even my closest friend plays consoles, as long as they don’t nitpick about how much faster or better their $500 system is compared to a solid PC. I appreciate those who value consoles for being user-friendly, affordable, easy to install, and requiring no special skills. I don’t have any issues with that. We all understand how frustrating a basic driver update can be. But claiming the PS5 outperforms PCs in graphics simply doesn’t make sense.
