Its so liberating to just accept this mindset everyhwhere. I personally feel so comfortable voting with my wallet I don’t even feel a sense of missing out anymore.

That wasn’t the joke. There is no way OP meant it literally.

He could just turn it into a nonprofit at some point with some specific rules in place about how certain things are handled within the company.

Dude you’re doxxing yourself…delete the post or edit the screen shot.

Yeah I mean, I didn’t say to gloat / flaunt. You can do what I suggested without making others feel small. False modesty is exactly what we are avoiding…genuine modesty is absolutely fine to run alongside my comment about being right sized and is the perfect antitode to the concern you started your post with.

And tbh the right sized thing has less to do with looks / status / wealth and more to do with how we see ourselves when doing a self assessment of character traits.

You’re fine, glad you got something out of it. It was told to me by someone who helped me through a pivotal time; happy to pass it on.

Humility is about being right sized. A lot of folks take this idea of humility as needing to lessen oneself for the sake of being “humble” when really we should be representing ourselves clearly and as objectively as possible.

I had my gmail account since the early invite days too! Your final point is valid, there really is no way to tell if sometime down the line a company may change gears and we end up in the same BS we’re in now.

That being said, proton seems to have a good track record so far and unless they get acquired down the line I can’t see them moving so drastically away from their focus on privacy.

Forward gmail to new provider and then use new email from now on. Eventually you’ll want to go in and update your email address for all the other sites you frequent…takes a few hours but you’ll be free.

Did it last year and it was relatively easy.

50%?? Been daily driving for over a year and system maintenance is nowhere near the levels it’s hyped up to be. Every once in a while the update requires manual intervention which can be solved by reading the email arch sends out before any of these atypical situations (register to be on the mailing list). Other system set up tinkering is well documented in the arch wiki.

Anyone interested in playing games on Linux should be exploring a rolling release distro even if for nothing more than access to updated GPU drivers as soon as they come out.

Don’t forget the utiltiy of the AUR.

Why you yellin tho.

What hassle? Literally don’t even check protondb anymore…I just buy games assuming they will work and 98/100, they do.

Didn’t “simple” recently get acquired and is no longer to be trusted? Correct if wrong but isn’t Fossify the new preferred fork?

Why the extra snark? This person is asking a question. Easy to argue that he is trying to learn more about networking, why ostracize?

This post is making it seem like they will have problems with steam on other distros which simply isn’t true.

Wasn’t there just a post about the snap version of steam having major issues recently?

Valve chose an arch based distro for the steam deck. Read into that what you will.

Endeavor OS. Its an excellent arch based system and people REALLY over emphasize how tricky arch is. Its not difficult, its not just for power users, and the rolling release means you have access to updates faster than other distros…this is particularly nice for gaming as you’ll also get updates to graphics drivers sooner.

Not the point of this thread.

Yeah fair enough. I’d have to assume folks who spend time making malware want a return on their investment, whether financial or status / fame. Not a big ROI on hacking my gaming desktop or a thinkpad I use to stream movies.

Maybe 4% desktop market share. You are not including Linux market share of servers; this would be a more worthwhile target.

Yup why both both
