Finally!!! Playnite was amazing when I used to be on Windows. Unfortunately no Linux tool yet has the extendability and usefulness Playnite has. Looking forward to seeing this on Linux eventually. It really is amazing for unifying game libraries and has decent almost Steam Big Picture-like skins too.

Unmotivated? Its a literal checkbox in the anticheats that games package to enable running in Proton. This is not Valve's responsibility, but idiot or lazy game companies/devs.

Secure boot is what I think you're thinking of because of Battlefield 6. But as I understand from just skimming it, its handled a bit differently in Linux than Windows, so unsure of how that could be handled or adapted for native Windows games.

I'd dabbled with Linux and multiple distros in the past and while I liked what I saw I had my frustrations. Various distros had their pros and cons and I wasn't as technically capable back then.

After Windows 11's unnecessary launch I gave Windows 10 LTSC a try. I don't think it was LTSC specific but my experience was buggy as hell and would BSOD every other day. So I thought I'd force myself to use Linux and have used Arch or other flavors of Arch ever since. No sink or swim, I was just going to live with it and not deal with Microsoft's bullshit anymore.

It's Alpine Linux's package manager.

Nothing closed source or FOSS really comes close. Heres to hoping with it being axed well finally see a FOSS launcher like it eventually.

Also use dust. Great for visualizing directory trees of where all the bigger files lie.

Fuck Google and fuck the bureaucracy of the U.S. Of course they'd rule to not split Google in the face of them killing sideloading.

My experience too with Linux on phones so far. Really, really want freedom of choice and to be free from Android. It isn't a real choice if I want a social life and a phone that isn't a brick.
