gaming on linux has gotten MUCH, MUCH better over the past handful of years. I’ve been on linux exclusively for 6 years and in that time ive gone from using Lutris for everything and only installing the few verified titles through fairly complex wineconfigs other people made, to a brief check of protondb before installing whatever i want from Steam and having it work out of the box. basically the only things that don’t work anymore are competitive anticheat softwares, like Valorant’s.

it’s so sad that people aren’t recognizing this

I was going to link you to Mullvad’s port forwarding guide but it looks like they removed that feature just this year

I have to disagree with the notion that China doesn’t respect open-source hardware. Alibaba group just recently open sourced some of the most useful, including the most powerful RISC-V core to-date. Open sourcing processor IP is almost unheard of. China is pushing the RISC-V and open hardware envelope pretty hard. They definitely do still profit off of American open hardware, but that’s a good thing for the consumer most of the time.

this is the case on windows as well in my experience

that’s totally fair, it’s not for everyone. the installation and configuration process is pretty long. however, day-to-day maintenance is very minimal if that’s what you’re worried about. i usually touch the terminal ~1x a day, just to update, and then go about internet browsing and gaming. however, if gaming is your focus, i would encourage you to check out nobara, as another commenter said. it was designed around gaming, by the same guy (gloriouseggroll) who made the custom version of wine i mentioned in my first comment. it’s fedora-based, so it shouldn’t be any harder to use than debian or ubuntu.

It’s not this significant (3x). it should be closer to 7%. My guess is that OP is using something like btrfs, whose data used is calculated differently due to the CoW nature, and btop++ is using using a generic tool to estimate disk usage rather than the btrfs utility that DUA is almost certainly using.

often times it will get actual documented solutions wrong too. this is an example of the same type of concept implemented in the MDN

There really isn’t any manual setup required even on desktop Linux, as long as you have all your drivers installed. Valve has done a really good job making gaming on Linux super painless

I run Arch (btw). What are you looking to use? If you’re comfortable with a terminal or willing to read a lot of documentation to get there (it’s all fairly approachable and well laid out) and rolling release suits your needs, I definitely recommend Arch.

EDIT: whoops thought you were OP. recommendation still stands though

 

I just started using Memmy and it’s quite nice. However, in the “Manage Accounts” page, the “edit account” and “Add” buttons seem to do nothing. Are these features for a later version, or am I doing something wrong?
