Yeah but he's doing it out of spite since the whole point of Android is freedom to do what you want. Take that away... Might as well go apple.

That's the point. There's a video out there with that piece of shit Steve Banon talking about hitting "us" every day with some much no one can keep up.

Closest comparison I can give of it is.... It's like clicking "Yes" when the User Account Control (UAC) popup appears on Windows when you're installing stuff. That's you, as an admin, confirming you want to perform whatever action is being performed.

sudo ... is perform an action/command as an admin.

As for the mods. A lot of the time it's a matter of taking the files you downloaded, and dropping them in the game directory (or a directory within the game directory).

Once you do it manually once, you'll see it's pretty straight forward and you don't really need the mod managers.

Wireguard VPN tunnel + rclone sync (or rclone copy) to a specific driver/folder on your home network

I've loved Armored Core since I was a kid. I was disappointed with AC5 but absolutely LOVED AC6. It's one of the only game I've 100% on Steam.

TLDR; Overall, great. Had some growing pains but Linux feels faster/snappier than windows.

I'm a developer and a self host "enthusiast", so I was already a little familiar with Linux, but I ended up hopping from OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, to Kubuntu, to Arch Linux (using KDE Plasma).

I had issues with Tumbleweeds package manager, and overall it felt clunky. They have stricter security than other distros and it caused some weirdness with Dolphin and some other utilities/packages.

Kubuntu was fine but then I came across an article that Valve was going to be directly collaborating with Arch, so I said screw it and jumped to Arch.

I absolutely love Arch, but it definitely has a learning curve. I found a gentleman on youtube (OldTechBloke) that walked through installing it and has a Gitlab repo with all of the commands to install. I took that and used it as a starting point and modified it over the past ~8-9 months to suit my needs (I've installed it on two other laptops now as well)

The biggest issues I've had have been related to Nvidia, and oddly enough, my Gigabyte motherboard. I had to enable several kernel parameters so "sleep" would work correctly. Luckily the arch wiki is incredibly detailed.

For a regular user, I would recommend Kubuntu or Linux Mint.

Edit: Also, I dual booted for a while but I'm at a point now where I haven't been on Windows since like... February. PUBG and Tarkov are the only things keeping Windows around on my PC.

Same. I got sick of Windows late last year and swapped to Linux in October/November.

In the USA it's performative, but in the EU it means they will actually need to talk about it.

The initiative is not asking for retroactive enforcement.

They are asking for an end of life plan for games made after some TBD date. Something that at least gives end-users a chance that it can be played after a corporation ends support. Ideally that would be server binaries, but it could also mean documentation on how the server infrastructure works so it can be rebuilt by motivated end-users.

PS's use of League of Legends is awful because all they would need for an end of life plan (if it had been required at the time) is to add a LAN mode just like PvP games from years and years ago, I.e. Quake, Warcraft, Starcraft, Counter-Strike, Halo... Etc etc etc.

That's it. That doesn't require "endless" support.
