    Well I asked for a source

    I’m not AwesomeLowlander but you asked for something that can be googled in literally 5 to 10 seconds:

      Yes, maybe it just takes 5 seconds. But it’s not my turn to Google things people claim here, especially because I nicely asked for sources ( to inform myself about it ).

      Anyway, I’ll not respond here anymore

        It always it. That’s basic media savviness. Asking for things that take 5 secs to google is rude.

          In the same stroke though the onus to supply backing to any given position or assertion is on the one claiming facts. Else one can go around claiming anything they want and just yell at others to “google it”.

          This one is easily found out through a simple search and all but burden of proof isn’t on the one asking for proof, it’s on the one making the assertion. If they want to verify the proof, then that’s on them of course.

            Valve supporting gaming on Linux is common knowledge here. For very niche knowledge or hard to google terms, I’d agree but there’s a limit. One cannot expect to cite sources for every single bit of common knowledge.

            The amount of work required to ask for a source is similar to googling it directly, maybe asking is even more work because usually selecting the claim and then right-click --> “Search web for XYZ” works just fine.
