I’m still using Windows on dual-boot with Arch because of games, that’s the only reason. I’ve Windows 10 LTSC IoT, which is the most debloated version available, plus I ran a debloater script, so the OS is basically raw now, no Microsoft account linked.

Unfortunately Windows still gets more performance, at least on my experience, I’ve a Laptop 16GB RAM, Hybrid GPU (GeForce 1650 4VRAM + AMD).

I’m still not prepared to give up from this little extra performance just to switch to Linux, it really makes a difference, and I pass the whole day dealing with Linux so at the end of the day I just want to boot into something that just works without major tweaks.

I know it’s not Linux fault, but most games are made to run better on Windows. If and when W10 become unusable, I’ll switch to 100% Linux without any doubt, it’s my last Windows.

Reddit is a living-dead platform, I always have the feeling that most posts there are made by bots.

You don’t need a browser just use cURL

I downloaded local Llama Uncensored and it easily teaches me how to make a home made bomb, suicide methods etc…

This isn’t news anymore, anyone can have access to such things.

I’d say given the AMD contributions to Linux better to support them with your money instead of NVIDIA.

If you say digital ads, probably none.

But we have ads everywhere, brands and logos are everywhere, this is ad too.

I get my earphones I see their logo, I get my phone I see a logo too, my laptop, my shoes, my shirts etc… Ads everywhere.

I dislike master because main is shorter and faster to type

God Hand is a hidden gem, the game is hard tho.
Crash of the Titans
Crash Twinsanity
Black
Midnight Club 3
NFS Underground 2
Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks
Gun
Burnout
Darkwatch (hidden gem too)

There are more but these worth mentioning because they can’t be played without emulation on PC, so it fits well to play on PCSX2.

Well I just download well tested games by others, if it’s trusted by many and have worked just fine, I think there’s nothing to worry about.

Yes, that’s true, poor people just want to have some fun, but society try to make it wrong, you need to follow all the guidelines of morality. But nobody talk about rich people destroying the world, spending on luxuries, exploring workers, and doing this kind of crap with the gaming industry.

I didn’t have a good experience with Linux, I tried twice, I’ve a laptop wit hybrid GPU AMD + NVIDIA, and NVIDIA is painful on Linux. I loose a lot of performance playing on Linux, tried Fedora last time, OpenSUSE before that.

I might try again eventually.

That’s right, it’s exactly what I think, you are one way or another helping a game to be known. The same strategy people talked about why Microsoft don’t shut every Office cracker, they want normal people to use it and get used to it, so companies will use it too, eventually, and they can audit some IT companies, charge a hell amount of money if they use pirated software.

I agree with everything, but I’ll still pirate AAA games, just for the experience. I classify publishers/developers companies like this:

• Companies it doesn’t even worth playing to avoid indirect marketing: Ubisoft, EA
• Companies that at least it worth pirating: Activistion, Rockstar, etc…

Let’s be honest, the games are good, probably made by some people who love what they were doing, but then it was put behind a shitty business model, because developers are just trying to make a living while executives trying to harvest all the money.

I think as the time goes, developers will start making their choices better, leave predatory companies, start or join indie companies, and I, at the same time, will migrate to a more indie focused gaming.

Me neither, I’m just saying, the prices are too high, the games I bought on Steam I always waited at least 50% discount.

But now it’s everything $0,00.

It was launched with full price, it’s not even remastered, just a port. I’ve paid for this already on PS3.

I’ve a dual boot with Linux + Windows, my games are isolated on Windows where I’m not logged in anything important. I can just encrypt my Linux partition for a possible vulnerability. But I really think that it’s hard to happen, at least it never happened to me, I’ve pirated before a few times.

Also it’s allowed to pirate on my country, it’s just not allowed to redistribute it, so I don’t need a VPN.

Just download from trusted sources and it’s fine. At this point I’d rather to trust the community providing pirated games than big companies harvesting my data.

Facebook got my precise location just using my IP, I decided to create a fake account to use FB market place, they warned me about an “unknown login”, it’s the first time I’ve seen this, usually websites only know approximate location, but this time just by knowing my IP they hit exactly the small town where I live, instead of near towns which is the normal. I suspect they had my IP from other devices allowing location in the same network (same wifi), then they could safely associate that IP with my exact location even tho I didn’t enable any GPS any time.

You can use VSCodium, it’s VSCode without Microsoft telemetry

I don’t play EA games it’s being years. My Steam profile description is “#NoEAGames #NoUbisoftGames”.

There’s even some really good old games from EA but I just don’t play it, and that’s it.

No I think not, but reading the README of DNSNet they mention Rethink, I tried it here and I think it might work similar to AdGuard. https://rethinkdns.com/
