I didn't tested it but according to the site you can get from https://github.com/ventoy/backend/releases an image with _casper-rw.dat.7z suffix (for Linux Mint) and extract the 7zip archive

see https://ventoy.net/en/plugin_persistence.html

It's 2023, we are almost already at Passkeys and you skipped TOTP (basically that "Google Authenticator" does) as 2FA?
anyway there are a lot of open source TOTP apps available to choose from like Aegis or if you want to sync it something like Bitwarden (Premium or Vaultwarden)
desktop apps also exist but that would defeat the point probably

stay away from proprietary apps and do backups of these TOTP secrets or you'll absolute will lock you out if you loose your phone somehow

oh there is a way without the user accessing it espcially on Windows: Anti virus scanner
since most of them scan all downloaded files a zero day exploit for these software might be automatically executed
bonus points: Anti virus software typically has system permissions too

(likelyhood is still hilariously low)

the listed ones have contracts with publisher to get legit keys where the developer gets it share too

I've been running qbittorrent in tandem with wireguard vpn in docker container for quite some time in germany

the harder challenge is actually finding german torrents at all

unfortunately germany is heavily "dub centric" and a lot of people here never engaged in english more than needed in school

convincing family/friends to watch a movie/series with subtitles is sometimes challenging

depends on how old your graphics chip is
typically anything newer than 10 year old will support some level of Vulkan

Steam Proton (which does the heavy lifting of running windows games on linux) includes DXVK/D9VK/VK3D3 which translates Windows DirectX games (don't work on Linux) into Vulkan (which works on Linux)

not having Vulkan will result in falling back on the way older DirectX -> OpenGL translation which not many actually care about nowadays and hasn't been opti.ized to run well in years (awful performance)

you need to be on the same network which also means excluding VPN on local network (or connect both PC and phone on the same VPN network)

at least CalyxOS does support older Pixel phones aswell as the Fairphone 4
of course from a security standpoint older Pixel phones are less secure but still way more than outdated stock android while also saving on ressources (money and ecological wise)

it's not complete black and white, there are nuances between which favors one over the other

do .tar.zst and you get Facebook hate on top of that too from nerds (Zstandard was created by Facebook)

at the bottom of the install doc is a link to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/General_recommendations which is excactly what you need afterwards

the archinstall script covers part of this too but I really recommend this as second most important ArchWiki article to literally every Arch Linux user

if you fear issues then setup automatically snapshots of your system

anyway I'm running monthly updates on my Arch Server for years
just don't forget to reload your kernel modules upon a kernel update (or just simply reboot)

cp distro.iso /dev/sdX

The "issue" of rolling releases is what you need to update ALL packages at once
only updating a part of them or installing a new one without updating anything else might lead to some issues like mismatching dynamic library versions (=the software won't start)

If you want to try out other distros without friction, spin up a virtual machine via Gnome Boxes or virt-manager with some different distros

I don’t have the time to always be doing crazy power user stuff and just want something that works out of the box.

otherwise why change whats running for you?

Voyager recently got added to F-Droid but can also be used as PWA from a web browser but personally I'm currently waiting until Infinity for Lemmy actually will get it's first stable release

the issue probably is that you had the proton/wineprefixes on ntfs which will not work

it's well known among linux gamers but I bet windows user will have more fun with it compared to whatever train wreck the official EGS launcher is too
