  • I would go with Linux Mint if you don’t want to tinker with it much, but Arch will allow you to be in the bleeding edge easily if you install things from the AUR but you could stay in the stable channels as well.

    Regarding games, I’m mostly a Single Player kind of guy and basically everything I have tried so far just works if it’s installed from Steam, for others you can use Lutris or Heroic Launcher but tinkering might be needed.

    All of this just to say: I use Arch btw. It’s been practically 2 years already since I haven’t boot into Windows for gaming.




  • Zaslav and whoever is influencing the bad movies at Sony are a danger to the industry. I do believe Warner Brothers was better before (like long ago) but they got in the make money fast mentality and took hostage good franchises doing cash grab after cash grab. Of course, making money is the name of the game but either you produce shit quick or produce a good product. That is how Marvel got where they are, with good products, but as you know they also switched to the quick-shit money making strategy.

    Liked your rant btw.

    Why do you need to connect over your Landlord’s router, for privacy I would recommend using a VPN but I digress.

    Anyway, you can just measure your speed/latency to any near server. I would just Ookla’s speed test or any game that has that functionality.

    40Mbps is not really much so unless the other devices are using the internet connection constantly you are at no risk. You could also limit other devices speed or set QoS so your PC or console has priority.

    This is based on my empirical knowledge, so if anyone can correct me please do so.

    That is actually a really good point, I was grouping all together. That being said, as other user mentioned, to debloat and do other things like having a system wide adblocker you do need root. There are of course rootless alternatives but having root is more persistent.
