Depends on your gaming habits. Check ProtonDB for Steam games compatibility, check Lutris for others. Some anti-cheats (especially kernel level anti-cheats) don’t work on Linux, if devs decide to make it work on Linux, they can. For example they enabled Linux version of anti-cheat and Hell Let Loose works fine for some time now. If you mostly play single-player games, you’ll probably be fine.

If you want every possible gaming related programs to be pre-installed, you might wanna go Bazzite. If you want to explore on your own pace, Mint is a solid choice. If you want something like Bazzite but mostly empty, there is also Aurora.

Funny thing, I had to do this because I’m lazy too. Now I just download. :)

Yes, and now with this Play Integrity thing is activated, it will comprise probably all of the apps from Google Play in time. Not for rooting but for ROMs, this is probably bypassable with more targeted ROMs, like GrapheneOS but I reckon that will cause a decrease in the ROM count.

It’s totally cool! I like to see others’ scripts. I agree, there is always something new to learn. I also liked how human readable is this. Thanks for sharing.

Actually I’m quite proud of my version but didn’t know about these at all. If I knew about this prior, I most likely wouldn’t try to build from scratch. Thanks for sharing.

Well, it’s generally fine for relatively new stuff but now to think I guess I had this problem with the older videos, older than this webm era. Other than that, it’s great to be able to even pick a format. :)

I used to force formats too but sometimes it fails because it cannot find the corresponding format. upload_date seems useful, I should update mine.

Also, didn’t know it can also download subs. Good to know. Thanks for your version.

We have a similar machine and it has openSUSE Leap for nearly 2 years. It’s been fine so far.

Huh, no idea if that’s already a thing.

Maybe they ARE moving to Linux? I expect Power Shell next. /s

They even tried Chromium base at some point.

This looks like an error on GOG’s end. Did you try to delete all cookies and cache (for GOG) and try to login again? Ctrl+F5 should do the trick. I would suspect Librewolf’s strict security but since it happens on others as well, it doesn’t seem like the issue here.

Maybe this is something related to your ISP for some reason? Was it still your wi-fi or a mobile internet?

Might be my speculation but if it’s your first ever post, I think you cannot post links. When I try to post my first thread, same thing happened. After removing the link in the thread, I was able to post.

antiX is my go-to distro for antique stuff. I even managed to run it on an old laptop from 2005, IDE HDD and all. Surprisingly it was opening fast too. Old wi-fi drivers suck though.

They can. Though their workaround won’t take long to come with a Proton update. At least Paradox isn’t known with that kind of anti-cheat.

Proton doesn’t need to be allowed. It will be fine, unless they decide to put some terrible anti-cheat.

To be fair, I don’t know any benchmark for this comparison. But I just tried a relatively big file with both of them. Opening part is not really noticeable, but fast-forwarding is much better and slicker in mpv. In VLC it looks like it’s jumping between scenes, in mpv you actually see the motion of it’s getting fast-forward.

Yes it’s quite noticeable, especially with the bigger file size. mpv is really light.

You can still use older hardware in 2025. So, yes.
