Such a ride

Happy Linux player. I play mostly single player so I don’t have many issues. For anyone thinking about switching

• if your games are on steam it’s really easy to run them and most of the times you just have to install them and press play
• if a game is new you may need to switch it to a newer version of Proton while the main one gets updated. It takes 2 clicks to open the compatibility settings tab and then you can select the version
• if a game needs a custom setting to run you’ll probably read it on protondb and it takes 2 clicks to add it
• go on protondb and log with your steam account to check how many of your games are compatible, gold or platinum means it’s good
• compatibility gets better every week
• mods may be harder to install
• Linux is easy to use
• Nvidia cards works well on Linux
• yes, sometimes you may break it but you can also fix it. The official windows forum is a graveyard full of “you have to reinstall windows”
• you can try Linux without installing it (but don’t use it for gaming or stuff that need reboots because live install lose changes)
• dual boot works so you don’t need to drop windows immediately

This is my protondb compatibility tab for around 1600 games

Looks really nice! Thought it was a terraria clone at first, will check out the reviews

Edit: bought it since it’s 75% off, played around 2 hours, it’s pretty entertaining, I’m not a super fan of this kind of turn based combat in general, but we’ll see

Overblown. You’d think they sold weapons to nazi, they sent a couple of laptops to open source developers which turned out to be assholes. People probably give more money to nazi when shopping and paying taxes

Unless you play only multiplayer with anticheat it’s going to be great. Sign up on protondb, it will give you a report of your steam games compatibility

I think most selfhosters already know/use Linux, so management issues are already known. About the ease of use, if you manage services with docker it’s really easy to bring them up/down, and if you want some GUI there’s portainer.

Personal opinion: Android is a locked down version of Linux, so it may become easier, also taking into account that this would be “new” software or would probably have more holes. In the end it depends on how much money they’re going to pour on development

If I had to guess, there are various fingerprinting techniques, and some of them use things like drawing on canvases to track you. They are probably referring to that.
