You’re much better off either running it in a container that provides the ancient libraries it needs or running the Windows version through Proton. Otherwise, my understanding is that if you were to theoretically provide it everything it needed, you’d basically be downgrading your distro to a version from 2004.

The Proton approach is what I would try.

No problem, I will add that then: I use their servers and the free tier. I only use it on my personal devices and remoting into friends’ computers. My work threw a fit when I had it installed on my work laptop.

I have all of my devices setup to require 2FA for each connection and I have set custom passwords. The default is a 1-time password, like what TeamViewer used to.

A free tier is available and you have the option to self-host or not. Host machines can be on Windows, Linux, or macOS (Android is probably also possible, but I haven’t tried.) It is open source.

I think the weakest computer I’ve had Linux on was an original Xbox running DSL.

This has nothing to do with preventing people from talking about non-work topics and is entirely about silencing people who protest the ethically questionable (at best) actions the company makes in relation to said country. Not only that, but they involved themselves in politics by selling to organizations that are entirely involved with politics.

Edit: I would love to hear your rebuttal, rather than just downvoting everybody who has replied to you with no written response. It sounds like you have none otherwise.

Does this mean I no longer have to disable it in 5 different places each time I setup Firefox?

Hot take: I wasn’t a huge fan of any of them, especially Opposing Force. The weapon sandbox felt overloaded and gameplay far more frustrating. I have never been able to get anybody into Decay with me, and I don’t really blame them. At least on the original PS2 port, it doesn’t have the polish that the original HL PC version does and its challenges seem to stem more from that than the intended gameplay mechanics. That leaves me with Blue Shift, which I liked the most, but not enough to ever go back and finish in full. Every time I play it, I just go back to the main game.

I use an Evolulent and a ProtoArc Trackball for vertical mice. I haven’t had any issues with them on Linux, but I also haven’t really customized any of their settings… I think. Maybe I changed what the 2 extra buttons do on them and I don’t recall using anything other than what’s available on Fedora to accomplish that.

I would recommend it. I also started with VirtualBox and made my way over to GNOME Boxes. Anything else will have a learning curve, but in the end, I found the alternatives work better once you wrap your head around them and you don’t ever need to worry about Oracle pulling the rug from under you.

Because it’s owned by Oracle and they’re the kings of malicious licensing. Using their software, even as an individual, with no intention of ever using it for work, gives them more power. Of course, if you ever even think about using it for work, then be prepared for the company you work for to be paying a huge bill or be sued.

This is another good reminder to not use VMware nor VirtualBox for any reason.
