Don't agree with me? Am I so wrong that you just have to do something about it? Leave a comment below.

EndeavourOS KDE (or maybe Garuda? I love their browser.) with BTRFS snapshots, on the edge with almost no risk; without being on the edge you won't be getting the quick raytracing/performance improvements until potentially 6 months later. :P

That's enough said, clearly, I win.

Poor Microsoft, they lost some of their data sales from when I last checked.. :c

Quoting: no_information_hereb) Vivaldi has made a public no-AI statement. I prefer FF, but a good alternative is sitting there waiting.

I would be careful about Vivaldi as the CEO has made some weird political statements in the past - though I'm no longer able to find any of them at all potentially due to search being scrubbed, as for Proton (this being relevant because Vivaldi ships free Proton VPN) I'm not sure of it sometimes but personally I don't use their services except email.

No. They should fix the native port. Maybe add a Vulkan renderer if possible. Proton (Wine + DXVK) is a great thing for running Windows games on Linux (SteamOS), but it should not be a replacement solution for actual native ports.

If there already is a native port, it is always better to fix that port (if possible/feasible) instead of just nuking it and relying on the Windows version running using Proton.

Everything you said is true, yet I still disagree because this is not an ideal world; If they can more easily support linux through proton and are willing I think that's the better path. At the end of the day linux versions are nice, but often times when the dev teams are small I'd rather them focus on adding stuff to the game rather than focusing on making a linux version for a game that already works without one, honestly from my point of view there's no reason to make a linux version unless the performance is bad with proton or there are severe bugs or just does not work.

It looks CachyOS is continuing to rise on steam survey. I haven’t tested that distro yet, is it stable and noob friendly?

In my experience testing CachyOS on another PC it was unstable but I had good luck with the same exact setup on EndeavourOS (BTRFS with snapshots, KDE, AUR enabled and used a bunch for ease of use) for 3+ years now on the same install.

Only had to use a snapshot once, because I did something dumb, but it worked and saved me :)

Using a mutable distro with BTRFS snapshots has been the best of both worlds for me

Same I'm just on EndeavourOS with BTRFS + snapshots and I haven't had any issues on top of that for years 0:

And of course they have plenty of fuel now thanks to the psychopaths making insane comments, now the collective can lump all the gamers who don't like sweeping censorship with rapists and call it a day. Personally I think some of the games that got removed deserved it though, actually, probably most of them.

I usually watch "adult material" behind a vpn using something like librewolf or privacy browser, and a few other tricks to make sure stray apps don't just send the new IP, this kind of privacy seems to be going away soon, and personally I find that uncomfortable and I probably will just opt not to watch anything like that at all. I don't want any government or corporation to be tracking my watch behavior then storing it permanently and running it through some AI 10 years later to generate a profile on me. The future of the internet is creepy.

The only upside is that kids won't be browsing around looking at that stuff, until you realize they will probably just go to some worse site or try to view it via some other methods. :/

I have this game it's actually pretty fun, but last I played it the graphics were blurry for some reason, probably because I zoomed in because I have a 1440p monitor. I'll probably still play and maybe run a sharpener over it. :P
