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.

the theory that neutrality is objective is fucking mind numbing. the right wing reactionary perspective is never, has never been, and will never be grounded in anything resembling facts. they consistently disregard actual evidence to promote bigotry and divide the working class.
