Wait, it can do that? Despite the kernel level anticheat?

If all you want to do is fly a helicopter, try Flightgear. It's probably nothing like BF 2042 though. FlightGear is a flight simulator with focus on realism (physics wise) while Battlefield probably oversimplifies this by a lot.

Yup. You'll need to tkinker with Linux too if you want disk encryption. At the very least, set a BIOS password.

Add admin:// in Dolphin (so /etc/sudoers.conf.d/ turns into admin:///etc/sudoers.conf.d/)

Reminder that Edge for Linux exists.

Did you actually run it?

In this case, I hope you had a backup. Boot a live system to see if there's anything left. Back that up, then reinstall.

Please stop oretending Linux was imune to viruses. A virus can do many things, perhaps even more on Linux than it could on Windows.

Not running an AV only borks because viruses nowerdays are much less common, especially if you follow some best practices (Adblock, no piracy sites, recognize sketchy stuff).

Have you heard of Local CDN? It provides at least some common things.

What exactly are you looking for? "Home Server" and "NAS" are both terms used to describe computers running server software and basically nothing else. Their purpose is to run webservers (the infrastructure behind lemmy.world), game servers (the thing you can connect to in Minecraft, for instance), E-Mail servers (like GMail - not the App on your phone, but what it connects to to get your E-Mails from) and so on. Essentially, they exist just so that other computers can talk to them.

Nearly every server is headless (no mouse and keyboard, no screen). To interface with it, you connect over the internet. You rarely see them run a graphical interface (to save resources) - people use the terminal to administrate them.

Do you want a PC (as in: personal computer) instead? PCs (including laptops and smartphones) run (mostly) graphical applications and end-user applications, such as web browsers, E-Mail clients, office programs, games, etc. In this case, try usual PC hardware. Most will work on Linux (it might be adequate to point out that there are PCs available built specifically to run Linux). General hardware compatibility is pretty good for standard peripherals such as keyboards, mouses, speakers, monitors and cameras (exception for all of them: MacBooks and newer NVIDIA graphics cards). In the Laptop world, many seem to enjoy ThinkPads. Pick a distro (https://distrowiz.pages.dev/, I use Fedora btw), pick a Desktop Environment if you're allowed to choose (technically you can always install another DE, it might just become messy) (the big ones are all great, the Deck's desktop mode uses KDE Plasma) and off you go. Tip: Test your distro in a VM.

As for the Terminal: You won't need it unless you go with Arch. Most of the time. The terminal is just very fast and way more standardized than GUIs. Therefore, Tutorials will use it all of the time. In rare occasions, GUI tools are not available. Good news: Learning the terminal is not as hard as learning to code. Once you feel ready, do try to learn how to use it. It's a good QOL improvement.

If only they knew how badly recived ads are inside of a free OS and how careful KDE's devs had to be to ask for donations once a year in a permanently dismissable standard system notification.

Alternatively, you could make your response more useful, removing the UI to aid the AI. After all, the user should be allowed to choose how they navigate the web.

What I meant were CDNs such as Google's providing common resources like fonts or JS libraries.

There's a difference: Websites have JS and requests to CDNs. RSS feeds don't.

It would be great if it wasn't just in Play Services but in base Android so that every de-Googled system had it too. Still a good change.

Bing Translate is jest the best.

I do remember a Moderator from the subreddit saying exactly that. Apparently "a certain" ROM's community was very vocal about their preference and provoked heated debates to a point where it was too much effort to moderate manually.
