yeah gog is cool, also, if you do want to have your OS do the things you want it to do, you should use linux, i could help you switch if you do decide to


You can get games on gog, it let’s you download the game files and play it with no DRM and no launcher.

And for the os part it sounds like you want Linux.



My sister doesn’t do that, but other students at my school are like that


id try it but it doesnt launch for me, it just says “an error occured”


thats a good idea, but im not willing to spend money to be able to play one game with a controller


that is only for windows, as the title of the sub suggests i am on linux



How to make dualsense controller act like xbox controller
the tldr is that i have this one game that only likes xbox controllers, and steam input doesnt work to fix it
fedilink





doesnt it require any modified versions of the code be shared, preventing a change to a non-copyleft liscence?






Their privacy policy doesn’t seem to state that they sell your data? Only that they use it for anonymous statistics and advertising directly to you (ie. Emails). Please correct me if I’m wrong.

And their privacy policy seems more specific than the last time I read it, right when they were acquired.

I assume they’re going to use the Fakespot tech in a privacy respecting way, which is why it’s taking so long to add the Fakespot features


The article states why that’s a bad mentality I’m the first few paragraphs


Fyi you can root a fire stick and put open also android tv on it



The servers are esupporyed by donations, mostly, but I am aware that everything I post here is very public



I agree it’s shitty, but its so that they can tell you later if your email does the leaked!


You could make a different account for each person so it would be a different /home, and a different instance of steam


It would be great 8f you could make a simpler table that’s easier to parse, just to get a quick overview of how each platform stacks up



Idk I don’t use proton vpn, I’ll reply again if I end up testing it with the free plan (I am not at home ATM)



On arch you can just turn shader caching off, the newer mesa versions cache the shaders in the background, you don’t need steams thing anymore Edit: spelling


The other two points have been addressed, but proton just remade their Linux VPN client from scratch, and it is quite nice now!





Same, in use freetube because none of the web clients work right for me


And like, I’m not trying to hide from the gov, I just don’t want companies like Google and Microsoft knowing what I’m doing
