This is for the AMD Vulkan driver, to be clear which previously put RT behind an environment variable.

Also: wow there’s federated video sharing? Bet that’s not cheap to run.

It's called PeerTube for the record.

Also youtube-dl/yt-dlp (or mpv directly) if you just want to play and/or download videos and don't care about the UI or subscription stuff.

Keepassxc for passwords plus a big emacs .org notes file for documentation. The latter could be better organised but it's easy to search with emacs tools so it'll do.

zram and other compressed swap approaches can help too (with less of a performance hit) although I use real swap as a fallback. Some would recommend using zswap in that case, but I still want compression in ram to be heavily prioritised but YMMV.

Not so much a quote I say out loud, but I often think of the scene where Lurr is buying human horn:

I haven't used Proton, but they provide Wireguard configs which you should be able to use with anything that supports Wireguard (either on a Linux desktop, or on an open router like OpenWRT).

In the long term we should have a large proportion of renewables in the grid level energy mix (and eventually very low prices) so it may not matter as much but it would be good to encourage them in the short to medium term nevertheless.

Apparently he would keep the secret service protection, although this is uncharted waters for sure. Opening Arguments podcast OA758: Re-Indicted And It Feels So Good! seems to agree.

They are particularly annoying on the Steam Deck and other handhelds where not being online is common.

Anyway, I dislike it in general but like you I've put up with it in some cases (see the Hitman series).

Not quite what you are asking for, but here's a list of source ports of commercial games, most of which have Linux ports.

Oh and I'll single out The Ur-Quan Masters as an older source port of Star Control II. Old enough that the port itself is nostalgic for me, although it's still being updated by the looks of it.
