KDE at home "gaming" desktop, but would love to move away from it, for various bugs and non-working configurations. At work and home laptop I am using WMs, riverwm / i3.

Using linux hardware, pretty much one of the requirements for my job, otherwise I look elsewhere. For RDP the only downside being wayland not working with it, so you have to stay with X11.

This is nvidia exclusive right?

Are you paying? :P But yeah I know I am a terrible person. But the good thing, this way I don't play mediocre or above average games. :D Although I spent way too much game on "multiplayer" games like Deadlock atm.

Here just a reading comprehension for my take

Its a security focused distribution aimed at developers which want to understand the workings of an OS

On which you answered:

You’re just wrong.

So idk whats your point either.

You first sentence actually supports my previous statement, that OpenBSD is aimed at developers. :)

Why would I "untighten" the hardening and not just use an OS which is more suited to my needs? Even for privacy, which is much more relevant for normal usage, there are better alternatives to OpenBSD.

I did this once for their music player, that bug trackers is hell...I can't even find my original report, but there is enough for a lifetime: https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?component=general&product=Elisa&resolution=---

Just because people doing it doesn't mean its the best thing to do. Also how can I be wrong, you can disagree with me. Obviously I am stating my opinion on this matter. But so far I haven't seen any real arguments from your side contradicting what I said.

A bit late, but wow openbsd developers use their own distro as a desktop, you convinced me. And yes I know it might sound weird but openbsd has a special use case. Its a security focused distribution aimed at developers which want to understand the workings of an OS. Its also used as a base for some router specific operating systems.

Everybody who used OpenBSD on the desktop knows it has its shortcomings compared to any other OS if your workload extends beyond simply checking mails and surfing the web.

has no special use case. Its hardened and comparably slower than Net- and FreeBSD

😂

I have used all 3 major BSDs (Free, Open and Net). FreeBSD is ideal for servers due to its performance. OpenBSD is perfect for security appliances and NetBSD is perfect if you have exotic legacy hardware.

Funny that those descriptions contradict what these Distro actually aim to do. NetBSD is a the supposed performance oriented distro. FreeBSD should be able to do both, desktop and server. But your are on point with OpenBSD.

So yeah, I want to discuss or point out why I think Valve needs to fix Anti-Cheat issues. They have VAC but apparently its doing jackshit, be it Counter Strike 2 (any previous iterations) or something like Hunt: Showdown the prevalence of cheating players is non deniable. For me personally it has come to a point that I am not enjoying playing those games anymore, although they are great games by itself. But the amount of occurrences being killed or playing against cheaters is at a height, where I don't see the point anymore.

  • Why I think Valve is the only company able to something against cheaters?

Because they have the tools with VAC already aiming to prevent cheaters. Valve has got the resources to actually invest into something more profound which could be used for any game where anti-cheat protection needs to be implemented. And lastly Valve is the company which is interested in furthering the ability to gaming on Linux, the anti-cheat solution needs to work on both operating systems. Only Valve has the motivation and means to achieve that with their knowledge and resources. What do you guys think about the topic? Is the fight against cheaters hopeless? Do you think some other entity should provide anti-cheat protection, why? I skimmed over "anti cheat in linux kernel" posts in the net, but I have very little knowledge about the topic, what is your stance on it?

Edited: Mixed EAC with VAC. EAC seems to be part of Epic Company. Both of these tools seem unable to prevent cheating like mentioned above.
