Since a great deal of essential services rely on the Internet. It would probably be a bit like New York during 9/11 or Canada when one of their biggest ISP died.

This may be a silly question, but as far as online games that work, it shouldn't matter if my friends are on Windows, right?

For the most part it's fine like the other comment mentioned.

However there are a few edge cases like Borderlands 2 that is like pulling teeth to make work.

I want the Airbender season back. That was such a great experience.

Warcraft 2, but I want Laurian studios to do it.

Activision is not trustworthy after the massive warcraft 3 disappointment.

 

Does anyone know if this game is still being developed?

Not having touch anything is a selling point for me. Bonus points if I can roll up the window too.

I'm not the original commenter.

However any game with invasive anticheat tends to be allergic to Linux.

Microsoft game pass has really good value that isn't supported on Linux. (I'm told the streaming stuff did work but I haven't personally confirmed)

I have family that likes to play fortnite with me and that didn't work last time I looked into it.

OVH has email hosting. I mostly use them for other services but I've had positive experiences with them.

Wow I can see why they are being sued that's awful.

This is loosely related so forgive me if it's not helpful.

The world has been broken up into economic zones for some markets. Using DVDs as my example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code

Mexico falls into region 4 while the USA and Canada fall into region 1.

This serves several purposes but I'll focus on one.

This allows the publishers to sell DVDs at different prices for different regions. This is to accommodate the different buying power of the average citizen of these regions, without competing with themselves at an international level.

I suspect why you don't see Mexico on the tag is a reflection of this concept. You're not selling the book at an equivalent value and advertising that might cause salty customers that want the less expensive price. Or citizens of that country demanding the alternative price while abroad, complicating things.

HDD storage used to be expensive. It wouldn't be any surprise to hear they did it to save on costs.

Is this the same game that was on sale for a dollar recently but doesn't work?

You could migrate jellyfin into a Linux container and share the media through a local loopback and configure it for a headless installation if you can't give up that Windows installation.

Alternatively like another person suggested configuring it as an service could help here

This was what I used years ago. But the APK is too old now. https://github.com/hansoochan/DSdroid

 

Android 13 Latest version of Boost Pixel 6

While browsing various communities it's come to my attention that sometimes they won't load in Boost.

So, I experimented. It seems to be related to if the extension of the image doesn't match the file type it won't appear in boost but it will in a browser.
