Correct, it's less efficient than Wine, but more compatible. Adobe and Microsoft software still has issues in Wine, so a VM is the best option for them.

To explain some terms in over simplified ways:

VM = Virtual Machine = Making a virtual sandboxed computer that runs full Windows inside it.

Wine = Wine Is Not an Emulator = A translation layer that converts Windows Program Commands into Linux Program Commands.

Wine has to be crafted for every needed Windows command, in order to translate the command into something Linux can understand. So if a program is using a Windows command Wine hasn't seen before, it'll fail.

VMs instead run an entire OS, in this case Windows, so that we don't have to craft every command, as Windows handles the program like normal, and then the VM provides Windows with virtual hardware to work with instead. Naturally, making pretend hardware and running an entire OS inside another OS eats up more resources, so VMs are worse than Wine in that regard.

No. If something runs in Wine, still use that. WinApp is basically a Windows VM combined with some other tools to allow Windows apps on the VM to run more seamlessly and native feeling. It makes picky apps like the Adobe and Microsoft suites happy since it's using full Windows to run them, but this means there's more overhead than running an app through Wine or natively.

I did find this

I would definitely recommend trying WinApps first, which that guide seems to be for. Never tried to get it running on Bazzite/SilverBlue/Universal Blue though, so can't help you there.

Check to see if your client is in Top X mode or something. Mine defaults to Top Day and nothing shows up, but switching to Hot or something else brings up posts.

Low effort pull, deletes the problem instead of putting the work in to correct it. /jk

Extra balls, multipliers, God mode(although that's mostly broken on Android)

They were in the original game as cheat codes you typed in. GitHub Android version just added buttons for them in the settings.

Makes sense, but personally I don't care about leader boards, so I'd rather have the functionality in tact.

The GitHub version still has the cheats intact.

Apparently that's a bug according to the dev, so hopefully it gets fixed. Probably a problem with how they implemented the Steam API stuff.

One Finger Death Punch is another great mouse game. It uses only two buttons, which can be the ones on your mouse, to play.

On my SteamDeck I mapped the controls so I just have to touch the two touchpads.

No way, they actually gave me a free Steam key for buying the DRM free version!? And here I was debating with my wallet whether the convenience of Steam was worth buying the game again....

Canada might start ignoring DMCA as a whole if the idiots in my government keep harassing them. Maybe that'll piss off Hollywood and friends in a useful way...

(Just ignore me laugh weeping at the prospect that billionaires stabbing each other in the back is the only thing I can look forward to in my country now)

It'll probably run Android, so yes, but your eyes will bleed from the ghosting.

Did some searching, and all of Readmoo's previous devices run Android. So you aren't forced to buy any books from them. Install whatever reading app you want and get your books with whatever method you choose.

The rarity is the ability to do it without caring about the massive environmental damage often caused while procuring the minerals.

Hopefully it doesn't get shut down by copyrights...

Considering EA just open sourced most of the Command and Conquer franchise, probably fine as long as they don't charge money.
