Yeah here's to hoping these game devs/publishers get their heads on straight when we all move to linux and stop playing their games because of lack of support.

That's the thought I use to cope anyways ;(

I'm lucky all the apps I use worked on linux when I swapped over, native or otherwise (through wine).

Sounds like if you fully migrated over, you'd have to give up quite a lot of software and relearn different tools, which is probably close to impossible (given the ones you listed).

Hope the Windows 11 transition is at least a smooth one for you!

They don't have to, I was simply providing a solution to a problem they don't have.

If they want to, but can't because of they decade old configurations, this solution could ease the process or allow them to figure out if it's even a possibility.

Basically just letting them know they can try it without destructing their existing Windows setup.

Pretty much every online competitive game cuz they all use invasive anti cheats and scapegoat linux as the cheater platform.

CS2 is the only outlier that I know of (VAC is server side mostly & CS2 is native anyways so). Probably some other games that are linux friendly too, but 99% are not.

Slowly switching may be an option for you. You could always dual boot a Linux distro alongside your current Windows install.

Then once you have Linux running with all your apps, etc, you can see what you're missing from your Windows install and if you can move stuff over, etc.

You could even try it in a VM, see if you can set it up in a VM to how you like first before doing the whole install, may or may not be a bit easier (easier in the sense that you can directly compare whatever you do on Windows with the Linux install in a vm).

Thats messed up if u can do this without consent of whoever you are tracking.

If you are gonna do this the right way, with consent, there's probably free apps that can do this (not sure if there are any privacy friendly ones though, but I believe iphones have a tracking feature that's free).

$10/month is scammy, but they know their target audience ig (abusers probably, like you say).

I had go look up mixue and I now crave ice cream and tea. The hot and cold combo must be amazing. Possibly the cure to brain freeze.

The recent duckduckgo ad campaign will surely help rescue googlers and so does my mission to ensure everyone I know doesn't use google search.

I like to link to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crony_capitalism because without the people who abuse the system, it would be a lot better. We need to close these loopholes, but of course rich people have the money to keep them open or find new ones.

Removing loopholes that the cronies exploit and removing tax havens, etc (other tax loopholes) would (in my opinion) make leave us in a much better state that we currently are in.

We hate crony capitalism not just capitalism on its own I believe.

Edit: hope this isnt recycled

I didn't mean to say that it's (still) trash, I think it's useable, but there are still a lot of improvements to come.

Element as a client seems to want to do everything, which is probably great for a lot of people, but it (in my experience) has led to a poor user experience (which with more time, will likely improve, they seem to have a lot of backing).

With Element completing voice/video implementation, I imagine it'll be easier for other clients to reference their work when implementing their own support.

Once the other clients get voice support, I will definitely be trying them out again, I'm sure they will make a much simpler experience that works out the box.

The lost keys problem has luckily never happened to me, it usually boils down the user error I believe, but yeah, if it is a user error that happens often, they should figure out some way to fix that (probably a hard problem, which is sort of fixed (i believe) if you use the client on multiple devices, so if you get logged out of your account you can easily authorize your access from another logged in device, eg desktop/mobile).
