  • Steam manages this for you on any distro it runs on, nowadays you dont even need to worry about it anymore.

    Without steam you can run umu-launcher (basically valves solution with steam removed) directly, or use one of the many gui-programs that manage wine/proton prefixes for you like for example bottles.

    umu-launcher and the gui solutions require wine or proton, I recommend proton-GE, a soft fork of valves upstream proton with experimental patches and gamefixes added.





  • To add to what the other commenters are saying, I also sometimes look at whos responsible for the software. Is it a repo from a big company? Is it a gnu project? Is it just from somebody with a username consisting entirely of numbers? Is it hosted on codeberg or forgejo or some other friendlier server? That stuff also says alot, even if there are few recent commits, if its from reputable people you may still get well maintained software.






  • The amended EP position adopts a positive, yet rather cosmetic amendment proposed by the liberal RENEW group that would “exclude communications to which end-to-end encryption is, has been, or will be applied” from the scope of the law.

    This isnt cosmetic, this is genius! It satisfies lawmakers who want to make this pass to “save the children” and have no idea of the consequences, and it satisfies the lawmakers with braincells since makes the law inapplicable to secure communications.

    I hope this does pass so they finally stop trying to push it through. But since they did pass the voluntary one but are still trying to pass the non-voluntary one, I think they will just try to spam chat control laws until their dystopic aim is achieved.
