Would there be a lot of roadblocks to installing them without the steam client?

Also they gave them the money to buy the cards! It's a full blown guarantee right lol

More and more features have moved behind that paywall. Streaming 1080, for instance, used to be free.

What has been most concerning to me about Discord was the trial of a call timer on random servers. By now this may of expanded to all servers, not sure. My thinking is how long until they are charging us for minutes like the phone companies did? Or more likely, giving unlimited minutes only to nitro subscribers.

I'm done with it, I set up my own teamspeak server like the good ol' days.

Pick any distro and just start trying to live your life in there. A lot of beginners, including myself, will distro hop on look and feel. Ubuntu looks neat or Mint is more like windows. Elementry OS has that glossy vibe. Which is all a ton of fun, but look and feel goes out the window when you find out that program you need for work is packaged as an RPM but not DEB and now you gotta install it from source. And don't get me wrong. Always tinker, research and discover solutions. I'm just saying as you get more experienced, the distro hopping decision becomes more focused on ease of use rather than look and feel. So save yourself some time and just focus on using whatever distro you installed. The sooner you start trying to live in a distro the sooner you see what works out of the box, what takes some tinkering, and what is just way harder than it needs to be. As you do research on the issues you run into you may find another distro is better suited to your workflow.

I have some systems with newer hardware that would probably work fine on Debian, but drivers aren't native and it's going to require installing from source/recompiling a newer kernel and troubleshooting for an hour or a day or days lol. In these cases it is easier to install a distro that already has the driver packaged in its repo ready to go.

I will say most of those issues lead me to and have been resolved by Fedora. But I still have a couple systems where Ubuntu is just easier for what those systems are doing because it has specific drivers ready to go easier than Fedora.

If you read this and are over there wanting the complete opposite experience to tinker with everything and have it be as hard as possible... See Alpine linux, which I will master someday lol.

I've always remembered the saying "physical access is total access."

You'd be saving yourself a headache if you use separate physical drives. I was able to get a dual boot to work on one drive temporarily, but it broke every time Windows updated.

In the age of Bitlocker and UEFI windows recognizes potential drive contamination at a very early point in the boot process. So it will look like it's working fine at the start, but once you boot into the linux partition, Windows is going to request disk checking at next boot and potentially write over things.

GTA V took on this freemium mobile game type culture and if they ruin GTA 6 with that out of the gate I'm going to have to hard pass.

Damn you own a house

I had issues with this and ended up just switching to the flatpak for VLC.

OP will have to close the Lemmy tab to do further research

After seeing it only has 2gb of RAM does it really matter? Guessing a Pentium of some kind..

The login portal is hosted on the private network and known by the private network's DNS service. By bypassing the DNS server(s) provided by the hotel's network and using your own DNS you cannot obtain the login portal. That is unless you know the address of the portal and can enter it manually.

Reference your threat model, but the quick fix here is to connect without custom DNS or VPN, complete the login portal, and then change DNS settings/activate VPN.
