I like Backblaze mostly for their business practices. The Backblaze devs answer questions on forums sometimes (Reddit link btw). The costs are pretty good, but there are cheaper options. $6/TB plus some API transactions. I paid almost a dollar last month for a couple hundred GB of data and transactions.

Plus their drive failure publications are awesome.



Nobody has to throw a tantrum, lol. I refused to join Viber at my work after they requested.

I said “Sorry, I don’t do group chats like that,” and that was the end.


What happens if you refuse? Are they paying for your phone bill?


I played about a dozen games and most of them worked great through steam.

Arma is gold rated on protondb.

What I don’t understand is why everyone talks about how easy Linux gaming is when it’s clearly not as simple a process as Windows.


I see this type of comment all the time on here. I tried switching over completely a week ago and had nothing but problems.

I went with Kubuntu after hearing success stories of gaming on Ubuntu and the great GUI of KDE. R5 5600X and 3080 Ti.

Framerate on Arma 3 was abysmal. It’s mostly CPU locked so NVIDIA drivers aren’t as critical. Max 30 FPS in a location I’d usually get 75+.

Lutris was unable to install the blizzard launcher. It was giving me an error about using a 64 bit version of WINE instead of 32 despite Lutris pulling the dependencies. I manually installed the supposed packages and had no option to manually select them in the installation process. Lutris automatically selected the wrong one and I gave up after that - about an hour of trying to install it.

Gaming on Linux is nowhere near ready for most people. There’s just too much troubleshooting and frustration.
