You can always use the Steam flatpak since Valve packages their Linux runtimes seperately within the client. I might be wrong, but flatpak should solve mismatched version/depedency hell.

You could also use declarative package managers like Nix or Guix to also avoid this same issue.

Don’t worry, Linus Torvalds has also complained of the same thing when asked whats holding back the GNU desktop.

Anyway, KDE is better than gnome! Thanks for reading!

Based KDE enjoyer vs. Pog GNOME fan moment. Also, you’re wrong but also right in so many ways.

Viva Godot and Free software gaming!

You could just call the Free operating systems GNU/Linux or NonGNU/Linux.

“Vanilla linux” is vague terminology and distorts history.

Do not use browser based password managers as they’re often not encrypted and are tied to that particular browser. Self host/use Bitwarden along with the web extension or KeyPassXC.

Since you’re also getting a desktop PC I highly recommend sticking with just ethernet and not messing with wifi firmware/wifi cards. You should also skip bluetooth as well.

If you want to play proprietary windows freeware/drmware you always have Bottles, Proton, Lutris, GOG etc. If you are forced to use a VM gpu passthrough for a game, then that game is not worth playing because the developers don’t care (why should you then?)

If you want an instant plethora of games you can always look into sophisticated emulators that allow you to insert shaders/upscale graphics rendering, always a good use of a powerful GPU to play retro games on a 8K resolution on vulkan.

Privacy and best practices are nearly universal across most user-obsessive distributions like Mint or Zorin and by extension most if not all distributions. Don’t let anyone tell you that one distribution is more “private” than another.

Mint is simply just better than Zorin in everything that Zorin tries to do, perhaps if this was a year ago things would be different, but Zorin is just not as well maintained as Mint is.

If you like the look of Zorin, that’s okay, most people do. But all desktop environments can be customized to your liking.

Use Mint instead, Zorin is not as well maintained or looked after like Mint.

I’m not familiar with warp+ but having used Mullvad VPN with most distributions I’d say to see if it supports OpenVPN or Wireguard configurations. That way you can talk directly to NetworkManager or the respective vpn program.

Perhaps Fedora does not have a unique package dependency that Ubuntu has since Fedora is heavily oriented toward systemD and selinux for most system tasks that may be handled by different packages on Ubuntu/Debian distributions. Warp+ may be designed in a way that only expects a ubuntu/debian derivative distro.

I’d try consulting cloudflare customer support for more guidance and to see if they can replicate the issue on their end.

China putting the “Free” in Free Software.

Ive never thought in all my time I would face a liberal whose source is “I fucked a communist and we broke up.”

Thats relatively fucked lmao.

Not the EVIL hexbears. Those dirty commies always ruin everything. Why can’t they just be not evil?

New hexbear tagline lmao. Also he probably broke up with you because you keep saying “CCP” instead of “CPC” and he realized you were a sinophobic racist lmao.

feddit.uk

How was the sex with that CPC party member like? Did he fuck the goodness into you?

I’m not a liberal, the liberal says. This is the 11th type of liberalism.

This is good bait, I laughed, lmao’d even.

Are you sure that Steam is uninstalled completely from your filesystem. Steam creates a “.steam” user directory and leftover data in the directory may be conflicting with the flatpak. Delete it if it exists and then try restarting your computer. The flatpak version of steam sandboxes the .steam directory.

As always, Steam is proprietary software and doesn’t bother to follow freedesktop standards. The support I can give can only go so far. GOG is always a better solution as it can be used with a libre client like Heroic Games Launcher or Lutris without DRM or invasive anti features. You do not need Steam to leverage Valve’s contributions with Proton and Vulkan.

I would recommend using the flatpak version of steam and seeing if that works before heading any further.

Yeah, it’s misleading but technically still correct. GNU/Linux is a variant of an OS using the linux kernel.

Edit: nevermind they didn’t even mention GNU tar but instead calls it “Linux”
