Others have already advised you on how to run Windows games, but in my experience with these games:
The Sims
I’ve been playing it just fine on Wine, check EA App on AppDB
Cities Skylines
The first game has a native Linux version, not sure how the second game runs on Proton
Stardew Valley
Native Linux
Minecraft
It’s Java so cross-platform, including Linux
Generally you can check ProtonDB for Steam games, and AppDB for others.
I also haven’t had issues with my self-hosted Nextcloud, DAVx, and Fossify Calendar. Has worked without hiccups for me.
The KDE spin of Fedora could be a good option if you want to avoid Canonical. KDE is also Wayland, though probably less touchscreen oriented than GNOME (which you can install on Fedora obviously, but a requirement to install a DE is not the most noob-friendly)
How is that inconsiderate? That’s just informal
(Using “bi” to mean “bisexual”, I mean, not “business intelligence” lol)
Why on earth do they need to know hostname? MAC addresses?
I exported my K-9 settings and imported them to Thunderbird and it works fine
Idk about other sources, but I get my apk directly from GitHub via Obtainium, and my app recently changed from K-9 Mail to Thunderbird. Icon, app name, and app theming changed. This has been in the works for a while but seems like they’re officially switched the apk.
I don’t have many so I just put them all in ~/own_repos (as opposes to another directory I have for other people’s git repos). Maybe if/when I have more projects I’ll have a more elaborate system.
Finally, the year of the Linux desktop
No worries, was just confused lol
I… never said it only synced with Nextcloud? Or are you just providing additional information for people?
Recently started using this synced with my Nextcloud. Really happy with it, only complaint is the fact that I can’t remove their “Regular event” calendar
I read it as a jokey community and maybe you took it too seriously. Regardless that’s a kinda silly comment to leave. That’s a community for, ironically or seriously, hating Linux, so obviously it’s not in the spirit of the community to leave a serious comment defending Linux.
I see a lot of Windows hate on Lemmy. If someone made a post here complaining about how much they hate Windows, and a Windows fan replied explaining why Windows is so great, I would say it’s kinda heavy-handed but not totally ridiculous for a mod to ban them, since a Linux community is probably not for this person.

Everyone who disagrees with me is a paid russian troll of course. Nobody would oppose blacklisting people based on nothing but their nationality unless they were getting paid for it.
Aside from the fact that it’s pretty insane to suggest to kick someone off a project for no reason other than their nationality (the article doesn’t say any of these maintainers supported the invasion or had any ties with the government), even if these people actively supported the government, as far as kernel development is concerned… I don’t really care? If their contributions are good then I want their patches to be merged. Tor was made by the US government, which I in no way condone, but I still use Tor.
Damn. That’s really sad. I hope Syncthing-Fork doesn’t get discontinued. I’ll have to change how I do my password management if I can’t use syncthing on Android
It says GNU/Linux but also says “and others” which could mean anything. eg doesnt specify if something like Alpine would be affected—is that “and others”?
In any case, I’ll wait 2 weeks and find out.
Yeah, I do miss that, but idk how much of it is nostalgia and how much is an absolute aesthetic preference. I think the main reason for the change though is Microsoft trying to make Windows work well on mobile devices though, meaning forgoing the aero and more expensive VFX.
Wish some DEs would make their default style more like a win7 era style. Would be nice to have the variety.
