When I was 13 and still watching LTT I had an extremely old dell optiplex with a 3rd or 4th gen i7 that was really starting to slow down on Windows; I just thought it was old hardware (partially true) but then LTT released a video about Pop_OS and was like "oo what's Linux" and just deleted Windows and installed it. Never looked back! Everything was super snappy and I was really shocked.

The Apex Legends hacking situation was unrelated to the anti-cheat despite initial reports

you're right, thanks for the clarification! https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=lzW4SDm0yWM

Apex Legends and Genshin Impact being a good example of this.

Some people don't care enough to try and understand

yeah, Linux is a kernel, not an OS, build whatever you want onto it.

it also proxies the video and blocks trackers iirc, giving you some form of anonymity from Google

Aren't most of the data the NSA collects from third parties like Google and Apple who already sell that data? can't anybody theoretically buy that data if its being sold? much like the mobile US carrier's were doing

what's so "new" about this concern? I'd probably be able to afford a house if I had a dollar for every article I saw on Tesla's wrecking or nearly wrecking because of FSD.

There's no emulation. Worst case scenario, the game is using Microsoft's proprietary DirectX graphics API, so we translate those calls to Vulkan or OpenGL with DXVK. That's simply out of our control since we cannot see or modify the code, but everything else is running on Linux.

Intel actually uses DXVK on Windows for better compatibility and performance for their Arc GPU's.
