Well, buddy… I got news for you!

Also, (and this is from security research articles here) most kernel level anticheats seem to focus more on datamining than anticheat (see: anything from tencent)

Its so bad that a lot of corporate environments ban any work being done on machines that also have them installed (source: my employer)

Over time more and more anricheat companies have realised that personal data is gold and they are harvesting more and more of it.

Just read the eula some time. Most of it state in plain english that they send files from your documents, take screenshots and log keys.

And we give them kernel access…

We’ll… The fact that Hes secretly a trained assassin with amnesia using the bob identity as deep cover.

Trained assassin is a huge red flag.

Like others have said, use fedora. But use the nobara flavour of fedora, as its built from the ground up for gaming and fixes a lot of tricky edge cases before mainline does.

More and more games are shipping with mega sus kernel level anti cheat which can (and does according to their EULA) take screenshots and files from your PC to make sure you “aren’t cheating”.

Valorant, for example, is made by riot, owned by tencent, owned by the Chinese government, and has a nasty kernel anti cheat in it.

So this means that with essentially no effort or changes the Chinese gov can just take this file and related screenshots of everything you do wrapped in a bow

And they 100% will do this.

Except for the overview transition, which is more like sharpened gravel.

Go slow, pick an easy distro like pop OS and take it easy.

If its for gaming, even https://nobaraproject.org/ is great as it has a lot of gaming optimisations.

Remember, Linux with a GUI is not more complicated than windows with a GUI, you have just spent your whole life learning the windows one.

I do enjoy elementary os on nixos, but I just can’t shake paperwm. Its too good.

Lin…UX?!

I use paperwm, and I think its the greatest user interface ever. Actually makes my odyssey super ultrawide useful

Lin…ux?

My super ultrawide with paperWM is just another level of productivity

Except those fuckers over here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Przybylski’s_Star who are basically screaming “come at me bro!”

This app is not for iOS yet. Only the old cloud version I think

I have been using the new beeper. It’s life changing. Having all my conversations in just one app is actually making me talk to me friends more. It’s great!

Fuck iMessage though. Don’t know why people give such a shit.

Valve forever more have my support just because of proton. Letting me get off windows to game has been revolutionary for me.
