I run Linux on a small mini pc for some casual browsing.

I run windows on my main pc.

As long as some kernel anticheat (fortnite, cod, etc...) doesn't run on Linux, I won't be swapping.

30+y of windows use also makes me infinitely more comfortable with windows. All the complaints I always read about are totally moot for me (I understand the issue of privacy in windows. It's the price I pay to have an OS that "just works" for me) .

While I enjoy tinkering, Linux is a royal PITA to use if you're not used to it. I spend hours trying to figure out how to fix something that takes me 5m max in windows. I understand it's a more a me than a Linux problem. But I'm certain many people struggle with the same things.

Prayers and likes is assistance right?

A 10usd Chinese knockoff Bluetooth controller works well enough for multi-player. The true little brother experience is to play with the shitty controller.

For the steam deck, you'd have to buy 2 controllers (potentially both shitty), so the benefit for the switch is still there.

From my 12y old kids perspective:

The switch 2 plays fortnite and Mario kart. The steamdeck doesn't.

There is no difficult choice for him.

He doesn't give a fuck about anything else. Neither do his friends.

Can you give me an example of an actual modern and good FOSS game?

Dutch can do the same. You can just keep slapping words together. It never ends.

100% sure they do. It would be silly not to.

Not to argue about the privacy issue, but aren't there better options than a towel? Get a phone without camera? Get one of those phones with physical switches for sensors? Get graphene OS and don't install anything but signal? I feel the towel wrapping is not the best solution for your privacy issue.

Tesla has a ceo that is arguably evil, his companies flaunt labour laws and he is actively trying to make the world a worse place through multiple means.

The HP writer makes mean tweets and complains women use her bathroom.

Both are bad people, but not even remotely at the same level.

I was considering to get soverein.nl, as they offer a custom domain with their mailbox for a small extra fee. Anyone have experience with them?

Seems like a simple one stop solution.

If it's a one time payment and it works well enough, chances are big I'll get it.

If it's a subscription, I wish you the very best, but it won't be for me.

Unfortunately the explanation seems to point towards the latter :(
