Eeeeh. I’m glad it’s working out of the box for all those people then. But that doesn’t really help you out.

Unfortunately I don’t own any of these games so I can’t test it to see if I could help out. Bizarre that you’re running into issues considering the games I checked are steam deck verified. Black Mesa people mention using the proton rather than the native ( Linux ) version.

If mullvad is wireguard based you can always import the wireguard config in your network manager and connect that way. It’s what I did for my VPN. Downside is that you won’t be able to use any features the app would offer you ( besides the VPN connection ).

Sorry I can’t be of more help. :(

When using bazzite you can use fedora instead as that’s the basis. It should help with hitting more results.

What exactly are you installing through the CLI? They have an app store where you can find ( most? Probably? ) of the stuff you’re looking for.

You can use the CLI to find flatpacks and install them. And as a power user, sure why not. But if you’re not comfortable with it, why not use the GUI?

What games are you playing that are causing you issues? I don’t think I’ve had any game issues using the latest proton version , but most of the games I’ve played recently arent very old.

Wait. Doesn’t that mean If you slot it in a lvl 9 slot you will animate

9 + ( 2 additional per level slot over 4 = 10 ) = 19 skeletons?

Edit: Never mind. It’s 1 skeleton and 12 extra for being level 9. I assumed every level would also increase the number of skellies raised. My bad

And if you are in the “It doesn’t work” camp, then you are screwed without serious skill.

This the same for windows. Or Mac. Or your plumbing. Missing something.dll errors and whatnot. Running things in win98 compatibility mode. What’s your point?

If you are one of the lucky ones where it works without effort, be grateful and don’t go around telling everyone who has problems that it’s super easy. Because it’s more luck than skill and your experience might not fit the experience that others have.

• Op asks for experience.
• I shared my experience
• You’re here criticizing me for sharing experience and that it might not work for him

What exactly is the angle here?

That I’m lucky it all works? Sure. There’s no skill involved in pressing the install and play button.

Can I guarentee it works for him? No. Did I claim it would? No.

He asked for experience and I shared mine. I’m not adding a disclaimer to day it’s all just luck. Because frankly in my opinion it isn’t. There’s been stellar work done by devs to get it this smooth. It might not be perfect. But it’s far from just “luck”.

Gentoo is IIRC one of the harder distros to use. Or at the very least one that requires a lot of Linux knowledge.

At least that’s how I remember it.

Personally there’s plenty of good distros to work from. Things like proton and wine are pretty well hidden.

I’m running on bazzite for a while now and have run into zero issues. ( Full AMD pc ). My previous rig had an Nvidia card and that one worked pretty flawless too. Only issue I’ve had is Edge of screen flickering in ff16. But only in ff16.

Bazzite came preinstalled with everything i needed. Wifi drivers, controller support, …

It’s what I’d recommend to friends if they’d want to give linux a go for gaming. I’d benchmark bookmark protondb for them as well to see if the game actually runs on Linux :)

My only issues with Linux gaming are mainly the custom launchers ( ubisoft, ea app, battle.net ). Heroic app works great for gog/epic.

Edit: wrong word

I’m trying to wrap my head around your comment to understand. What exactly do you mean by supply chain sploit risk?

The tool is using 3rd party libraries and those libraries could be used to introduce vulnerabilities in the app?

I think it’s MAC based, but I’m not sure

Specifically talking about the FireTV, 99% sure the app doesn’t have a Killswitch, I’ve checked. I use it all the time on PC and Mobile though :)

Ah! I can’t get a fire stick here so no experience with that.

Setting up the VPN on the router sounds great, but can home routers (I have Cox) flash VPN software on them (thought they couldn’t)?

The asus router I have has a feature called VPN fusion. I specifically bought a set of routers for my home that are in front of my ISP router because I wanted a single SSID and wanted to set my own DNS servers without having to specify them per device . They (ISP) keep restricting features on their router ( can barely do anything on them nowadays ). Also switching ISPs became easier as any config is done in my devices rather than theirs.

Also is it MAC or IP filtering (would I have to set a device to static IP) for deciding which devices use the VPN tunnel? How good is it about switching servers (like if a server I’m connected to is on maintenance or is overloaded)? Not too worried about the web issues, can always hop back on the regular Wi-Fi and use the app.

I THINK it’s Mac based, but I really can’t say. I named the devices on my router and they keep reconnecting as the same device. Either that or it uses some combination of info from the device to identify it.

E.g.: my work MacBook should switch MAC addresses every time it connects to a WiFi, but it’s consistently identified by my router.

Additionally, they have some routers that are supported by custom firmware ( asuswrt-merlin ). Mine don’t support it unfortunately. https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/

Americans believe 20% of the people have an income of over 1 million dollars and 20% 30%of Americans live in NYC. Am I reading this chart wrong?

???

NYC has a population of what? 10 million people? So they think there’s only 30 million people living in the states?

Protonvpn has a Killswitch: https://protonvpn.com/support/what-is-kill-switch

A kill switch is available to all Proton VPN users on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and iPadOS. Newer versions of Android now have built-in kill switch feature, as explained below.

Please note that our regular kill switch feature can’t protect you if you intentionally disconnect from a VPN server. However, the feature does protect you while switching servers with Proton VPN.

Our Windows and Linux apps now also feature an Advanced kill switch. In addition to protecting you from accidental VPN disconnections, this prevents you from accidentally using the internet without the VPN turned on, and it will persist when you shut down and restart your device. You will not be able to connect to the internet if you manually disconnect the VPN without also disabling Advanced kill switch.

or are you in a different scenario where that doesn’t work?

I’ve configured my router to set up a VPN connection to proton ( wireguard config ). I then decide which devices gonout without vpn and which with VPN. ( Default being with VPN ). If the wireguard tunnel happens to go down, the devices can’t surf the web.

RDBMS shines on getbyId queries. Queries where the value starts with should also work well. But queries where the word is in the middle of the value or column generally don’t perform well. Since it’s just for personal use that might not matter too much. If you’re querying on exact values it’ll go pretty smooth. If you’re querying on ‘deniro’ while the value contains ‘bob deniro’ and others it’ll be less performant. But it’s possible it works well enough for your case.

Elasticsearch is well known for text searches and being incredibly flexible with queries and filtering. https://www.elastic.co/

Manticore is one that’s been on my check-it-out for I don’t know how long. It looks great imo: https://manticoresearch.com/

Open search: https://opensearch.org/

Disclaimer: I haven’t really used any RDBMS systems extensively for years so it’s possible there are some that added support for full text searches being more performant.

Aleph also seems to be able to cross reference data between documents. I don’t think any of the ones listed above do this. But I also don’t know if this is part of your requirements.

If just one or those passwords gets leaked you might find a lot of other ones get cracked as well.

It may not be sites that you care about. But using a password manager is a lot less effort and a lot safer than whatever technique the average Joe will come up with.

Any password that leaks which could indicate a potential system ( e.g.: sitename in lower/upper/leetspeak) makes the whole thing even more vulnerable.

Just use something. Bitwarden, vault warden, keepassxc, …

Knowing my social circle I’d recommend bitwarden. Even paying for it costs a measly 10$/year, while the free version is very usable in itself. And generating passphrases or 32char passwords will be a lot safer than whatever the hell they can come up with.

Just avoid the default browser ones, big tech and LastPass.
