i wanted to move my google stuff to Proton this year as a Backup for my self hosted stuff. Shame, seems like I need to put a little more time into managing my self hosted stuff

i think the biggest issue is that you only can buy it on playstation (for 80€ no less) and epic. I would love to play it but am not willing to pay any money via the epic store which doesnt even have a linux client

I switched a year or so ago and never looked back. there will be issues you need to overcome though. so better start with dualboot before windows 10 is eol

KDE plasma is one of the main reasons the linux desktop is so extremely good for me.

if you think so too, please consider donating to the project

games done quick is on

The Seanis

matrix should cover everything you need with the added bonus that you can chat with people from other instances

you could try mailu. that should be simple and Provide you with everything You need

that is of course an option. not my cup of tea though. if I need to do things like that to play some games, I’d rather not play them at all and put my time into games from devs which don’t actively sabotage linux compatibility. That doesn’t mean I don’t miss playing for example pubg or valorant

mint is nice but fedora KDE runs also pretty well on my thinkpad x1 yoga gen3

I am very happy with fedora KDE, although I have weird flickering issues since fedora40/plasma 6 and so i temporarily switched to cinnamon (which was really easy) untiljthe nvidia 555 driver releases. I can really recommend this combination

use haproxy instead of Port forwards, that should work just fine and works really well on opnsense

debian. stable, reliable, easy to learn

And „normal“ would mean a total invasion of privacy and accepting games installing malware? Bowing your head and install bootloader destroying windows on an otherwise fine machine instead of owning your system? Then I’d recommend not playing those games

This strongly reminds me of the stand Gold Experience from JoJo’s bizarre adventure
