A lot of YouTubers seem to have recently claimed that their landlords are anonymous corporations with no clear individual proclaimed as owner or responsible party.

I’m not alarmed. You’re alarmed.
Ah, I apologize. I definitely was not fully awake when I read your original comment.
I’ve played Helldivers 2 with no obstacles and no additional setup.
I’m sorry, as just as I’d love to, I don’t have an answer to this.
Your question isn’t dumb. You just haven’t been exposed to the environment. Please feel free to ask any question about this you have and, if I don’t answer, someone else probably will.
If you install the Linux version of Steam, it should allow you to download any game. There’s a checkbox in the Steam settings that says something like “run non compatible games through proton” (not what it says, but the general sentiment). Checking that and restarting Steam once is the extent of the setup required; after that, it’s essentially the same process as running a game in Windows (with the few exceptions mentioned by another commenter). Non Steam games should be able to be run by Lutris, PlayOnLinux or adding a non Steam game to Steam, but I mostly haven’t done that myself so I can’t vouch for it. Sincerely, for most games, it’s an easy process.
I’m no expert, but if you decide to pursue this and get stuck, please feel free to reach out to me and I’ll do my best to help. The link below seems like a good starting point: https://geekflare.com/install-steam-on-linux/
To be fair, the commenter to whom you’re responding might have been engaging in hyperbole.
Maybe not. Just a theory. (But I was similarly confused)
Yeah, anti-cheat and the Ubisoft launcher have been the only consistent obstacles. protondb.com is a fantastic resource, though.
I’m not a fan of LoL, so I can’t say from personal experience, but it looks like PlayOnLinux claims to support it. Hope you find your joy!
No judgement for your choices, but just so you know, it’s basically no work for the majority of games.
Well, of course dating apps want your date-a.
(I’m just kidding and sincerely hate this.)
Plus it puts on a Santa hat around Christmas.
With self hosted email and at least Proton Mail (and probably other paid solutions), you can set up a “catch all” address. With that, any non existing email gets redirected to one; for me, I have spam@domain.com so, while myname@domain.com goes to my inbox, thisaddressisinvalid@domain.com and, I don’t know, walmart@domain.com both go to spam@domain.com. I don’t need an individual entry for every alias and I can specifically block any address that’s particularly spammy or compromised.
I hear that you can have a similar setup with something called SimpleLogin, but I’ve never tried that.
Alongside many of the useful comments here, I’d like to add one great thing about installing Linux on a new computer: you can’t accidentally anything on the new computer! There’s presumably no data to be lost, you can even install Linux without ever booting into the Windows environment. If you don’t have it connected to your network, there’s nearly no risk; even if you do, that risk is minimal. I always feel a distinct comfort imaging a system that’s never been used.
As for the how, others have covered it, but just identify your distribution of choice (Fedora and Linux Mint are great starters), download the ISO from their website, plug a thumb drive into any running system, and download a USB imaging tool. Balena Etcher is a popular one and the one I use, but many others are available and popular as well if you have a preference.
Fair enough. Thank you for the edification.
Totally get it. Hope you feel better soon!
I think at least one of us is confused. I apologize if I was unclear at some point.
I apologize for missing your other comment, but isn’t posting the Garfield variant something I already did?
While the Heathcliff variant is more prevalent on Lemmy, Garfield Minus Garfield does exist and is highly enjoyable. I haven’t checked, but I suspect it inspired the Heathcliff one.
Unless it’s trained on preexisting Facebook posts.
In the days of old when knights were bold and toilet paper wasn’t invented, they’d wipe their ass with a piece of grass and walk away contented.
