3-2-1 rule, 3 backups, 2 locations, 1 off-site

but it's more like 3-3-2 for me tbh

in the case of spam, I haven't been spammed by nexus at all, if anything, I got like 2 emails per year form them, and that's because I had site news on. You can disable all communicate from them, or better yet, mark them as spam.

the steam downloaders work on the SteamCMD principle (or the donated file kind too for restricted games) and kemono is just an archiver.

There isn't a point for anyone to make such a tool as the website is literally FREE to use and it would be a waste of money to re-host already free content.

Honestly just suck it up and make an account, you won't be tracked down by the CIA, the FBI isnt going to come knocking at your door either just because you wanted to download Dagoth Ur loincloth replacement mod.

+1 for addy . io, been using it for a while now and it's nice to have unlimited aliases for free

seems to be a personal & self holster link shortener and share service

There is Element or Matrix or whatever the fuck that shit is called. Supposedly a better discord but the UI is so fucking bad and confusing it makes no sense.

I guess revolt and guilded are the next best options? But I am not sure how they work on Linux

Yeah TMP, my CPU doesn't have it, and I'm not going to get a new motherboard and CPU just for a shittier Windows experience.

I think the largest extent I went with messing around was using a Locale Emulator for a Japanese game, never had to do more than run the exe.

On Linux it's a bit of a "will it run under proton?" type game, but I'm not really thaaaaaaat bothered by it. Also fuck invasive anticheats, only shit games use it anyway.

Oh yeah 100%, I've used Krita before on windows and it's enough to cover most of my use cases, also it's by the KDE community, which I adore <3

Right so I haven't switched just yet, I'm waiting on Win10 EOL because there is still stuff I use that is windows only (Adobe suite [ I fucking hate gimp ] and some games)

However, I did look into distro stability, and what apps are avalabile. Everything else I use IS either Linux native or runs great on Linux.

Inevitably, when I switch, I will miss Photoshop and not having to tinker with making games work

The insane requirements of Win11 (and the added Ai features) are definitely factors for me to switch to Linux
