if you just need software to set up virtual machines you might look into Gnome Boxes or virt-manager which don't require external kernel modules like Virtuap Box to work

anyway these issues typically happen on Ubuntu based distros (like Linux Mint) because your linux kernel is to new for the Virtual Box version (or the Virtual Box version is simply too old)

for someones who values security above everything else thats totally fine
but for someone who wants to reduce e-waste by prolonging the life of a phone with at least some updates this might be not the best solution

CalyxOS supports Pixel devices far longer than GrapheneOS does (they drop them once Google drops support too)

it was announced few weeks ago in the mailing list: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/arch-dev-public@lists.archlinux.org/thread/3SIPCGQZHUWIC36Z25UGKQMQXDVKLIUS/

the amount of plugins are also amazing
convert non-lossy files automatically to {aac|mp3|ogg}? fetch lyrics? push updates to mpd/sonos/jellyfin?

CS1 was notoriously known to be tied to single core CPU performance
I hope at least that got better, this really hit laptop gamer even if they had beefy GPUs in the laptop

If you care about DoT or DoH Adguard Home will support it out of the box (which is why I use it)
you can make pi-hole also support DoH/DoT albeit little bit more complicated with an extra service like stubby/unbound

otherwise it really doesn't matter, both are open source and easy to setup for unencrypted dns requests

this only happens if you install proprietary drivers manually and not through the software center (or package manager for the cli folks) on almost every given linux distro
this is why no sane linux user recommends installing download scripts from websites, you rely instead on your package manager to handle everything

Espresso should be fun!

Gatekeeping Espresso into more expensive Grinders is kinda the opposite though?

the "keep it simple stupid" for Arch Linux has been always on the packaging and system maintenance site and not on the end user site
probably the reason why so many Arch Linux forks exist which simply add the more end user attractable parts like a fancy website and/or hyper stylized themes out of the box (i.e. Garuda)

On Dreame robot vacuums you can actually flash your own firmware like Valetudo which is also quite popular in Home Assistant peers since it no longer phones home

Some podcasts have contracts to be Spotify exclusive (they get a compensation for it)

there is live kernel patching, most distros (like Arch Linux) however don't set this up by default
there is also the possibility that one live patch don't work properly
the only reliable way currently to load the full new kernel is via reboot

the real way for server however is to not rely on one single server but have a redundant amount which you can reboot one at a time

the Manjaro hardware driver setting is absolutely confusing or straight up misleading
also hilariously easy to bork your system here if you ever think about trying the video-vesa driver for whatever reason

the solution is to use the newest linux kernel and update all your packages (which updates Mesa and Vulkan tools) and afterwards rebooting (I still believe Manjaro doesn't reload kernel modules on kernel updates automatically?)
if you experience graphics issues switch between Xorg/X11 and Wayland compositor

if you actually want worse gaming performance try the proprietary driver

I just use docker/podman containers on my Arch Servers, not a single time I needed to rely on distrobox for anything

you are right, on my linux pc I also use xone instead of bluetooth
on the Steam Deck I just use another non-Xbox gamepad instead

xow isn't supported anymore and already gives problems with newer libusb versions
but xone (the sucessor of xow) will no longer work after a SteamOS update due to the immutable filesystem of the Steam Deck, you would need to set it up after every update again

afaik xone (the kernel driver for the Xbox One dongle) still isn't part of the linux kernel (neither mainline or steam deck kernel)
the gamepad itself works fine though, only the adapter dongle sucks

since you can also connect the newer Xbox gamepads via bluetooth, it seems like not many people actually care about it

AMD just doesn't have any official gui setting software on Linux
third party tools like CoreCtrl will help you with some settings like overclocking, undervolting, etc. and for basic settings your desktop environment of choice already give you control over resolution/framerate/gamma/whatever
for an ingame overlay and fps limiting take a look at mangohud

there is also a lot of confusion because there are different software names for kernel driver (i.e. amdgpu) and userspace driver (i.e. Mesa) with additional varieties on top like vulkan-radeon and amdvlk (which is included in amdgpu-pro and typically worse)
luckily most people don't really need to care about that since most linux distro already give you the best gaming choice out of the box and updating your system will also update your amd driver

Someone mentioned Terraria, and I would be remiss if I didn't second it. Not much story there, but I've been playing it for like 12 years and I'm still happy every time I start it up.

the soundtrack of one of the most popular mods Calamity for Terraria is also way too good than it ever should be
