That was what surprised me the most. The storefront that claims to buy games that won’t ever break due to DRM doesn’t have a Linux launcher.

I’m very intrigued. Could you please explain it? Even if you abandoned it, you still learned valuable knowledge.

However, the rest of the video is great! Personally, I never really pondered much about my threat model, but I apparently follow the “privacy conscious” caricature to the dot. Not to be all “Nothing to hide, nothing to fear”, but I doubt that my local three letter agency would be very interested in my Steam games and schoolwork. If I were to think otherwise, I wouldn’t have my stuff in digital form, let alone connect it all to the internet. That’s why I don’t bother myself about my digital privacy more than that.

Worshipping a company so great, they sell defective chips.

Thanks, Steve.

That would make sense if the PCIe or SATA traces would interfere with the GPU.

If it’s just YouTube that’s an issue, have you searched for vaapi in about:config? That ancient CPU probably can’t handle the video with software decoding.

1. Depends on how much crap you’re willing to put up with. It’ll all be worth it in the end! (Pro tip: disable secure boot in BIOS)

2. I wrote a whole guide on the two options, but then accidentally deleted my comment. You can either install Linux on another drive, or shrink your NTFS partition and install Linux alongside it. You can always access NTFS from Linux, but not the other way around (by default). If you don’t understand what I’m talking about, you should really look it all up. I would personally just backup and wipe, you can always reinstall Windows if you want to.

3. Have you heard of Valve’s Steam Deck? It’s a handheld gaming device that can play nearly every PC game, and it runs Linux! Valve made gaming on Linux an absolute breeze thanks to Proton. There are some popular games that don’t work, either because Tim Sweeney hates Linux (yes, really) or because the anti-cheat won’t accept Linux, but I only know about Destiny 2 and Rust that have that problem. Easy Anticheat works just fine, I play Apex Legends and Deep Rock Galactic with no issues!

4. If you have AMD, you don’t even have to think about it. Their drivers are part of the Linux kernel. Nvidia is not impossible to use, but you might have some issues. I experience random desktop environment crashes that I can only attribute to their drivers, but it only happens on startup sometimes, which is the least annoying it could be. If you choose a distro that doesn’t mind automatically installing non-free software, you probably won’t need to think about it either. The open source driver, Nouveau, works fine but performs awfully in games (or at least it did a year ago).

If you just want some clear instructions: backup your files, wipe your disk and install Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition. It’s easy peasy to use and getting the proprietary graphics drivers is only a few clicks away. Just configure your Steam games to run through Proton and you might not even tell the difference.

It is, but you must be invited to playtest it.

“Double it and give it to the next of kin”

I think that you posted to the wrong community. This is clearly a shrimp!

Try running it through gamescope. Paste this into the additional launch options:

gamescope %command%

You can take a quick look at the W3C standard. Primarily at the page length.

I’ll hawk tuah to that!

“Don’t buy this early access title unless you’re happy with the current state of it”

I’ll just link my Steam review. Fuck Take Two Interactive.

Sorry to be irrelevant, but I hope that you know about the voltage problems that many 13th and 14th gen Intel CPU’s have. If you haven’t already, I would advise you to look up some BIOS configurations to prevent damage until Intel releases their microcode update this month.

Psst! Your censors are making italics! Add a backslash to both of them to m*ke it w*rk.

Try 60GB of system logs after 15 minutes of use. My old laptop’s wifi card worked just fine, but spammed the error log with some corrected error. Adding pci=noaer to grub config fixed it.
