that’s where a system like flatpak comes in. you shouldn’t have easy rw access to you entire home directory.
i know flatpak has holes but if that complicates malware made for windows, that’d be it for now.
not saying the risk doesn’t exist though. maybe firejail or something would be more complete security.
i know, but it may be different enough to break stuff.
sounds unpractical af
while the risk you mention is very real and we should not be too complacent with it, i haven’t seen any attack targeting linux users from pirated games in the wild.
hell, scene releases from trusted sources are usually slightly safer than the original game because of removed DRM phone-home bullshit.
plus wine and flatpak are enough to fuck with malware targeting only windows if you don’t keep all permissions enabled, which you shouldn’t.
you can with GPU passthrough. not a simple process though, and not all hardware supports it.
plus you need a dedicated gpu for the VM.
not op but people generally get desensitized to ads because they are everywhere.
corporations then sneak it in for an extra buck because they can.
glad to have switched away. no more ubuntu shenanigans for me after years of linux 🥳
what do you find restrictive about other distros?
damn bro, chillout.
don’t be mad in the name of nvidia of all corporations.
does that boot at least taste nice?
that’s the main thing being criticized in this post.
we are criticizing their dropping support for a still useful card.
i said nothing about 2022?
my idea of “old” is when a card can’t perform the tasks i want it to, not the arbitrary timeline in which the company decides to dump us.
still adequate for desktop and light games.
what better alternatives would you personally opt for instead?
i use localsend. how is this one better?
cachy is consistently faster than bazzite though
i see no mention of crashing and such, so i assume it’s already good for just outputting display?
elementaryos is great for just this. haven’t used it in a while but i remember it being the most polished user experience on linux.
any of yall been using it? the open nvidia driver + nvk?
how well is it working these days?
oh for sure. upside is maybe it’s an easier and better documented process now a few years later from my last attempt.
might be worth it for the annoying anticheat games.
