Element isn't perfect, but what's a better alternative? A giant Signal group would be a horrible idea, since everyone's phone numbers would be exposed to the other members (plus there's a 150 group member limit), and Discord is obviously much worse than Element (from a privacy perspective).

Through proton, yes. The game has always worked with anti-cheat disabled (so no PvP multiplayer), but proton-compatible anti-cheat has been supported since early April, so all multiplayer functionality has worked since then.

This article is referring to a recent MCC patch that broke proton anti-cheat for about a week, thankfully it's fixed now.

I remember reading that the higher grain content in dry food actually causes more dental bacterial growth, but I could be wrong. Our current plan is to regularly use dental treats to solve any dental health issues

Dang, I won something in this raffle but didn't check back on scrap.tf in time to claim it :( Thought they'd send me an email or something, but nope. Oh well

According to Gamebanana and the huds.tf backup, it seems like the Quake 3 hitsound is probably the most popular hitsound. I'm trying it out and like it, but I'm not sure what killsound would go well with it

Well Respawn explicitly enabling Easy Anti-Cheat's Proton support (plus the game being Steam Deck Verified) is about as official as we're gonna get for the vast majority of multiplayer games. I think it's more of an issue around EA firing 99% of their QA testers...

Considering less than a month ago they were making headlines for mistakenly banning linux players (but eventually unbanning them, thankfully), makes me wonder how many of those bans are false-positives.

I was one of the linux players who was banned. It took them about 8 days for them to unban me in-game, and then it took another week for my EA ban history to change from "active" to "overturned," with an email from EA. No apology, no sort of in-game compensation, just basically a "be thankful you can play again."

~25% of the linux players are still banned. Some definitely cheated, some I would be shocked if they cheated, just considering the amount of hours and money they had put into their account, along with how enthusiastic they were about getting themselves (and others) unbanned. So shocked that I'm almost certain they're false positives. Which makes me hesitant to keep playing - what if that happens to me? If they treat their Steam Deck and linux users this way, is that a game I really want to support?

During setup, Calyx shows a list of the apps installed by default, and allows you to uncheck most of them. I personally didn't feel like it was much bloat at all, but I did uncheck a good bit of the apps. If you went through the setup process with all default settings though, I can definitely see why you'd think that

I used LineageOS for years on my OnePlus 3, and once that stopped getting updates, I snagged a Pixel 5a and immediately put CalyxOS on it. Both have been great experiences.

[email protected]. RuneLite works fantastically.

RuneLite is linux native though. If you want something specifically through Wine, others have said Guild Wars 2 and FFXIV, but I've also heard good stuff about STAR WARS: The Old Republic. And if you're okay with something a little more obscure/"out there", Shakes and Fidget has great reviews (it's a satire on MMORPGs).
