Update: I got space engineers and beamng.drive working it was probably a problem with not having write permission on my hdd(see comment I put above)

I am pretty sure i am running counter strike natively at the moment. How do I change it between running natively and running with proton? I think it might perform better with proton.

Fair point didn't think of that. I do use the default keyboard app I guess. Is it possible samsung records keyboard information keystrokes etc?

Update: I got beamng.drive to work I haven't tried space engineers although my guess is it will work but without audio (acording to everyone on protondb) whuch is unplayable imo so i will probably use windows for that. The problem was that I didn't have write permissions on my secondary hard drive which is probably linked to my Windows install (I am currently dual booting with two ssd's) so I installed beamng onto my main ssd and everything just worked!

Not sure how to fix the write permission error I've tried launching dolphin with root privileges. At the moment the best solution I can think of is formatting my hdd on Windows and then that may fix it. Although it would be nice if there was a solution without formatting it.

So far I've tried space engineers, counter strike and beamng.drive although I haven't gotten any of them to launch yet except counter strike but I have had terrible frame rate and stuttering that made it unplayable.

No you were actually right the first time! I did mean counter strike. Thanks for the help though.

At the moment I don't use any keyboard app. I haven't found any that I really like. I used to use gboard which was nice before I became privacy concious and realised gboard could be tracking every key press I make.

If I am going to use a keyboard app I wouldn't use anything unless it is FOSS software.

I'm running bazzite too. What games have you been playing?

Look at the post I sent to prole my experience has not really been smooth sailing.

Actually I'm completely new to Linux and only started using it as my main pc a few days ago. The games I've tried so far is: cs2 which plays natively without proton but with significant performance impacts which makes it virtually unplayable. And I've tried space engineers which is supposed to work but without audio (it wouldn't launch for me) and beamng which is gold in protondb but I couldn't get it to launch at all. Come to think of it I must be doing something wrong because so far I haven't been able to get any game to launch when using proton.

Every game I want to play actually working first time everytime.

Why do you regret convincing your family to use signal? Is it because you wish you got them to use xmpp instead?

What do you mean that's debatable? Robotaxis are a service just like normal taxis and ubers and everything else you rent.

I'm not entirely sure if services like robotaxi are ultimately good or bad. I think it greatly depends on how they are deployed and regulated.

If they governments don't force company's to ensure they make constant improvements and innovation as well as making them cheaper then I think there could be a serious problem when non driverless vehicles are outlawed, making robotaxis the only viable way to get around in car dependant places, companies like waymo will enshitify the hell out of robotaxis making them way too expensive and just barely safer than normal cars in order to rake in the profits as much as possible. I feel like this is a concern in the US especially due to there idea of a "free market" with very little regulation.

On the other hand if companies are forced by regulation to constantly make cars safer and not cost too much then I guess robotaxis could be improve road safety, congestion and a few other problems but by no means fix them.

I guess it wouldn't be terrible if they made another browser then there might be three half decent browser engines to chose from: Firefox, old chromium and new chromium (probably called something else)

Is this all really a concern for people with lower threat models? It seams like a lot of effort for a pretty low risk. Although i don't know how common it is to get your devices tampered with.

So many people I've talked to about privacy are 100% believers in "if I have nothing to hide I don't need to care about my privacy" and they think the only people that use things like tor are drug dealers trying to access the dark web.

In my experience open source has been getting really intuitive ui, at least for more basic apps like messages, that are just as good or better than proprietary equivalents. It's not like apps like apps like matrix aren't being used because they look bad because a lot of the clients look and feel really good.

Yeah honestly they should change the name literally no one I have heard likes it.

Oh wait could you use this for setting up a LAN gaming session or making a gaming server without port forward? That would be sick!

What is the use case of something like this? there is no way I would trust any peers in a swarm with all my internet traffic data. Or do I not need to?
