That's how I work, But I use FreeTube instead, which works the same way. There's a trending videos page, but it doesn't reccomend stuff based on your history.

How is the meme acknowledging that GOG installers are shared in groups? This doesn't say anything about sharing anything in a group, other than "My game has no DRM, and yours does"

You mustn't have looked at many games then. As someone who 95% only buys games from GOG, and has a wishlist of 190+ games, the vast majority of the games on the wishlist have DRM in their Steam versions.

Woo hoo! Yeah!

True. But I've seen apps be forked by it's own developers before. One example is Prism Launcher, which was forked from PolyMC because one of the original devs "went rogue" and revoked access from all the other devs because their political views didn't align with his political views. So he abused the power he had and just kicked them out. So the devs who were kicked out forked the program and continued it as Prism Launcher. That's how I understand the situation anyway. It's funny, because PolyMC which Prism Launcher is forked from is itself a fork of MultiMC.

So it's a valid question.

Thanks. I'll definitely download Quik. Does it have the QKSMS+ features included for free in it, and is it maintained by an original dev? Update: Yeah, I got it downloaded and the features are there. Awesome!

I game on Linux and mainly play games bought from GOG. Both GOG and Epic games are extremely easy to get working, and are as simple as downloading Heroic Games Launcher, signing into GOG and/or Epic, and choosing the game you want to download from your library. While it is possible to use the official GOG Galaxy client with Lutris and WINE, I personally don't recommend it, as it's quite a glitchy and laggy experience, and is only done by people who can't live without GOG achievements. For GOG.. just use Heroic. It's just as easy to use as the official Galaxy client is on Windows and also supports cloud-saves.

I've never used Amazon, but Heroic also recently added downloading your Amazon Prime games as an option, which I imagine is just as easy to get working as GOG and Epic Games already are.

This part isn't necessary, but if you want to play those games but launch them from Steam, you can add each game individually to Steam as a non-steam game through the Lutris or Heroic Games' interface. A handy app I recommend, which I never hear people mention, is BoilR, which automatically adds all of your non-steam games in bulk into your Steam Library.

As for the EA App and Ubisoft Connect, I ditched them over a year ago due to not wanting to support the companies (same with Epic). I honestly don't remember what the process was exactly for those launchers, but I do remember it was very easy to set up in Lutris.

Lastly, I've never used Battle.net either, but I've heard it's quite easy to set up in Lutris.

The people saying to switch to Linux are half-joking, half-serious. Sometimes we can be a little too pushy by bringing up "just switch to Linux" too often, but usually we have good intentions for at least trying to encourage the switch, and it often-times does come from a place of care.

Truly Truly, I say unto you, install Linux; it's what you really must do.
